An Iranian anti-narcotics policeman stands guard at a police barracks on the border with Afghanistan, near Zabol, 1,605 kilometers (1,003 miles) southeast of Tehran May 20, 2009. Iran, which shares a 900-km (560-mile) border with Afghanistan, is a conduit for smuggling drugs to the West from its insurgency-ridden neighbour. The Farsi script, a quote from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says "The police force must be respected by the people." Picture taken May 20, 2009.
