People in the bordering Sistan-Balochistan province of Iran took to the streets on Friday, January 28, 2022, and demanded their rights to water that flows from Afghanistan, Iranian State media Irna reported.

Security forces in the port interfered after the protestors started attacking trucks that belonged to the Afghan people.

Eyewitnesses say that Iranian protestors broke the windows of trucks and inflicted financial loss to the drivers.

Meanwhile, another group of Iranian protestors rallied at the Afghan consulate in Zahedan city and demanded the flow of Helmand water to the country.

After the demonstration of Iranian nationals, the Afghan drivers rallied on Afghanistan soil and asked for their losses to be refunded.

The flow of the Helmand River to Iran has been a matter of conflict for years between Afghanistan and Iran which has not been fully resolved after the war erupted in Afghanistan
