The ban on pedestrian movement from the Pakistan-Iran Taftan border was lifted on September 3 and Pakistani businessmen, students and truck drivers have been permitted to travel to Iran.
As per details derived form the sources, the Federal Investigation Agency has also commenced the regular immigration process at the Taftan border, permitting Pakistani citizens to enter Iran.

Only Pakistani nationals were barred from entering Iran but that restriction has now been lifted.
However, Pakistani nationals wishing to travel to Iran on pilgrimage or tourism visas are still barred from entering the neighboring country.
Meanwhile, Iran’s influential Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in a statement said that the Islamic Republic would not tolerate any changes in the geopolitics of borders and would confront with all its might the inimical actions of its enemies. "We warn all those who are trying to destabilize the northern borders of Iran, and assert our preparedness to impede the evil designs of our enemies."
