One of the most important organizations in the mentioned area is Naja Border Guard and especially Chabahar Admiralty, which has tried to reduce drug transit with its actions. Although the Chabahar Navy has been able to take very appropriate measures to prevent the entry of drugs into the country, it is facing challenges; This research was conducted with qualitative method and interviews with 30 experts in the field of research. The obtained results show that the eastern borders of Iran are the most important area for drug smuggling due to their long length with bankrupt and unstable governments such as Afghanistan and Pakistan, geomorphological factors such as the connection of the eastern provinces with the Lut Plain, and some internal factors such as the unfavorable economic conditions of the border areas.
