Long Lines of Trucks Held Up Behind Pakistani Border

Long lines of Iranian trucks have formed at the common border with Pakistan. 
Iran’s southeastern neighbor has made it extremely difficult for Iranian truck fleet to cross the border for about a month now, says director general of International Transportation and Transits Bureau of Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.
“This is not the first time Pakistan is causing trouble for our transportation and transit from its borders. Last winter, they set heavy tariffs for Iranian trucks entering their country and our drivers were held up at the border for days. This is while Pakistani fleet are commuting as usual through the Iranian borders,” Mohammad Javad Hedayati was also quoted as saying by the Persian daily Shargh.
