The Baluchistan government closed all the border crossing points with Iran in Panjgur, Gwadar and Kech for an un specified period, citing regional instability and security concerns after recent climbs in the Middle East.

According to the official statements of the district administrations, the border crossings with Iran in Panjgur, Gwadar and Kech have been closed until new notice.

In Panjgur, the authorities confirmed that the movement through the crosses of Cheedgi and Jirak-Prom would remain suspended.

Local officials urged residents to avoid unnecessary trips and cooperate with the authorities during this augmented alert period.

The Gwadar administration also confirmed the closure of the Gabd-Kalato 250 border corridor, following directives of the Baluchistan government. In a public appeal, officials requested public cooperation and advised people to communicate with local authorities for any guidance or assistance.

Meanwhile, the Radeeg-Mand border crossing in the Kech district has also closed. The attached commissioner Kech said that the decision was made in response to the “volatile situation in Iran”, and emphasized the need for caution and public cooperation.

The Pakistan Interior Ministry has also advised its citizens to avoid traveling to Iran due to the continuous conflict between Iran and Israel. In addition, the airspace between the two countries remains suspended.

Despite these closures, Taftan’s border crossing in the Chagai district is still operational.

The authorities confirmed that cross -border trade and passenger movement continue as normal.
