5 Maritime operations in 2013 As a result of a real-time intelligence led regional exchange and cooperation between the I.R. of Iran and United Arab Emirates (UAE) from August 2013, approximately 7,284 kg of drugs (heroin, opium, and hashish) were seized in the waters of the I. R. of Iran and the United Arab Emirates. The covert intelligence plan for this maritime drug control operation started 5 months earlier through exchanges of details and telephone numbers of a group of drug traffickers among Pakistan, Iran and UAE police. The destination of seized drugs, as stated by the Iranian police (with reference to what arrested traffickers have admitted to UAE police) were regional Arab markets (mostly hashish), and African onwards European destinations (heroin). The opium seized in this operation was destined to enter Iranian and UAE territories from the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf. During this operation, 10 members of an international drug trafficking network were arrested by Iranian coast guards in Iranian waters. An intelligence-led exchange operation took place as the result of close cooperation among Iran, Oman and UAE. The operation started in mid-september, followed by ten days of extensive surveillance of a vessel run by drug traffickers. The operation led to the arrest of a number of traffickers and seizure of the vessel by Omani authorities. The intelligence exchanged among the three countries indicated that the trafficker vessel with drug cargo had left a Pakistani port carrying around 1 ton of different types of drugs in sealed packs. There seems to be a new drive in the region for boosting maritime cooperation against illicit drug trafficking (and illicit chemical trafficking) between the I. R. of Iran and regional Arab states.
