The existence of severe economic deprivation and high unemployment rate in the border areas has a tremendous effect on increasing the illegal crossing of people and, as a result, the smuggling of goods, drugs, weapons, fuel, livestock, and other things that are considered to be a place of border security. Residents of border areas are often people who do not have favorable conditions for healthy employment; therefore, they turn to smuggling and illegal activities to earn money. In the meantime, the high profitability of goods smuggling is one of the most important reasons for this trend. This profit is caused by the price difference between the domestic market and the neighboring countries. The geographical situation is the most important factor that has caused the spread of goods smuggling in the country, especially in Sistan and Baluchestan province; The presence of thousands of kilometers of waterways and land on the borders and the proximity to unstable countries have caused a decrease in productive investment in the border areas.
