“After the American presence in Afghanistan, the cultivation of crops for the manufacture of drugs has increased 50 times in the country,” said General Hossein Akhtari, commander of the law enforcement forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with regret.
“Iran’s Foreign Ministry authorities should raise this issue at international meetings, and the United Nations should respond to America’s role in increasing drug production in Afghanistan,” General Hossein Akhtari said at a meeting of the Police to Combat Drug Trafficking on Monday.
