AhlulBayt News Agency: The chief of the Drug Control Headquarters (DCHQ) of Rudan County in southern Iran has been killed in a battle with drug traffickers.

According to a Tuesday report of the Police of Hormuzgan Province, Captain Saeed Moridi was killed by a bullet to his chest.

Although the fight against drug trafficking is very costly to Iran, the country has been firmly standing against the heinous phenomenon over the past four decades, according to police officials.

In the past four decades, about 4,000 Iranian policemen have lost their lives and 12,000 others have been wounded in armed clashes with drug traffickers.

Once in June 2021, Secretary of Iran Drug Control Headquarters Brigadier General Eskandar Momeni said that all pillars of the Islamic Republic were united to combat narcotics and illegal drugs.
