TEHRAN -- Interior Ministry has drawn up a comprehensive plan to tighten the security along the country’s borders, the interior minister announced on Sunday.

The plan has been announced to the governor-generals of all border provinces, Mostafa Mohammad Najjar told reporters in Tehran.
It is being implemented along the eastern, southeastern, and northwestern borders and will be put into effect along the entire borders of the country, he added.
Najjar also announced that physical barriers including canals and barbed wire fences will be built along the borderlines.
SNSC pursuing border security issue
Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi also told reporters on Sunday that the Supreme National Security Council is seriously pursuing the issue of border security.
The relevant bodies are pursuing the closure of borders and positive measures have been taken in this regard, he stated.
Asked about the terrorist group Jundullah, Moslehi said that the security forces are keeping a close eye on the moves by the group.
Given Iran’s tight control over the Jundullah members “we will arrest them as soon as they start to make a move,” he added.
The Jundullah group has conducted several terrorist attacks in southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan. On December 15, 2010, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device outside a mosque in Chabahar during a Shia religious ceremony, killing 35 people and injuring more than 100 others.
