The Iranian government has ordered governors in border provinces to strengthen import and export operations at land crossings. Iran maintains approximately 6,000 kilometers of land borders. There are roughly 20 active land border crossings with Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to the report. The move is reportedly intended to avoid certain regional impacts. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council convened a meeting presided over by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

Officials cited economic difficulties including rising prices, unemployment, and damage to the petrochemical and steel sectors as contributing factors. Security agencies have presented a critical assessment of the Iranian economy, highlighting widespread job losses due to industrial closures.
