Is the Iranian government helping or hurting the fight against the trade?
The Iranians have invested a significant amount of money and blood. They have a lot of vulnerability because of their proximity to Afghanistan. They lost 3,200 border guards and policemen in the fight over the past five years. And they have put up an infrastructure along the border that consists of hundreds of kilometers of ditches. The effort is definitely gigantic, and they are very effective as a police force.
