Pakistan suspends border trade with Iran

Pakistan has temporarily suspended trade with Iran through the Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan border crossings in Balochistan, citing security and smuggling concerns. The move has stranded hundreds of freight vehicles carrying LPG, rice, fruits and other essential goods, raising concerns over LPG shortages and price hikes. As per a report, over 4,000 tonnes of LPG are imported daily through the route.
