flag Turkish authorities seized nearly 9 tonnes of methamphetamine, half at the Iranian border, amid rising drug trade.

flag Turkish authorities have seized nearly 9 tonnes of methamphetamine in the past two weeks, with half intercepted at the Iranian border. flag This significant increase follows a trend of rising methamphetamine seizures, with Turkish police confiscating nearly 22 tonnes last year. flag The surge may be linked to increased production in Iran and Afghanistan, where methamphetamine trade has intensified following the Taliban's ban on opium poppy cultivation for heroin in 2022.
