Tehran, Sept 14, IRNA - Prosecutor General Ebrahim Ra'isi said on Monday that international bodies have a paradoxical approach towards fighting drug trafficking in Iran.

The official said that the international bodies have always praised Iran's role in fighting drug trafficking in the region but in the meantime they condemn Iran for issuing serious sentences for drug smugglers.

Iran is doing its best to prevent transit of drugs to the West and expects western states to have an honest behavior towards Islamic Republic in this regard.

Iran is a transit route for narcotics smuggled from neighboring Afghanistan, which produces more than 90 percent of the world's opium, the raw ingredient of heroin.

According to the published reports, more than 3,500 Iranian soldiers have been killed in clashes with drug smugglers since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
