Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi says the international narcotics business is a Zionist-sponsored agenda aimed at wreaking havoc on the human societies across the globe.

“The Zionists play a key role in the production and distribution of narcotics across the globe, because destroying human societies and exploiting their virtues are among the objectives of the Zionists,” Rahimi said at a conference commemorating the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Thursday.
