The discoveries include 4,000 liters of gasoline, 92,000 liters of kerosene and 112,000 tons of gasoil seized by police during the past 11 months.
The discoveries were made by round-the-clock monitoring of the forces in the border areas of the country.
Every liter of gasoline is at $0.331 which is relatively lower than its price in neighboring countries including Turkey, making the item tantalizing for opportunist smugglers.
Fuel smuggling is a serious malady in Iran's economy and the government has devised numerous plans to curb smuggling of fuels which have not yet bore much fruit.
