• The head of the Anti-Narcotics Police of the Law Enforcement Command in East Azerbaijan Province announced the seizure of 37 kilograms of the psychoactive drug crystal meth at the Norduz border in Jolfa County.
• The commander of the Law Enforcement Command in South Khorasan announced the seizure of 79 kilograms and 80 grams of opiates in Sarbisheh County.
• The seized opiates in Sarbisheh included crystal meth and heroin.
• Alongside the seizure of narcotics, undocumented foreign nationals were also rounded up in Malekan.. Coverage difference: ISNA and the Young Journalists Club both focus on drug seizures in Iran, but each refers to a different region and reports different figures. ISNA covers the seizure of 37 kilograms of crystal meth in Jolfa and the roundup of undocumented foreign nationals in Malekan, while the Young Journalists Club highlights the seizure of 79 kilograms and 80 grams of crystal meth and heroin in Sarbisheh. Sky News Arabia also addresses a completely different issue, namely the identity of an individual at a ceremony related to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and makes no mention of drug seizures.
