Iran Seals Border with Afghanistan Over Terrorism Concerns

Iran has decided to seal its border with Afghanistan due to growing concerns about terrorism. The border between the two countries stretches for about 920 kilometers.

This wall will be 300 kilometers long and 4 meters high. The move comes after a rise in terrorist incidents in both Iran and Pakistan, l...
