The news about the closing of the Rimdan border crossing was quickly published. Videos of this crossing were published today, in which the drivers say that the border guards force the drivers to leave the crossing. In one of the released videos, one of the border crossing officials tells the protesting drivers to go to Chabahar to do the work related to the customs post. In the explanation of this video, the drivers wrote that these officials said Harug Rimdan "will be closed for 3 months".

The Rimdan border crossing is one of the most important import and export terminals between Iran and Pakistan, which played a central role in trade relations between the two countries during the American-Iranian war and the Iranian naval blockade. Last summer the operation of this transition became 24 hours a day.
