 Travellers should avoid the '''southeastern''' area of Iran, particularly the province of Sistan va Baluchistan. The drug trade thrives based on smuggling heroin from Afghanistan. There is plenty of associated robbery, kidnapping and murder. Some cities, such as [[Zahedan]], [[Zabol]] and [[Mirjaveh]] are particularly dangerous, although not every place in this region is dangerous. [[Chahbahar]], which is close to the Pakistani border, is a very calm and friendly city.
