Military forces blocked the Fahraj to Nusratabad road axis in Iran's Kerman province hours after an armed conflict at the Fahraj checkpoint on Tuesday morning, December 25, 1404, causing heavy traffic and forcing cars and buses to return to Zahedan, according to a Hale Vash report posted at 11:06 PM UTC on December 15, 2025. Videos and pictures received by Hale Vash show military deployment on the road preventing traffic, with travelers left undecided as no reopening time has been announced, local sources told Hale Vash in the post at https://x.com/haalvsh/status/2000700732551422242 during the 29-minute reporting window ending at 11:16 PM UTC. The blockade follows reports of deaths and injuries among military and security forces in the Fahraj clash earlier today, with a tense security atmosphere persisting in the region, Hale Vash stated. Local sources noted increased security measures on regional roads after two separate armed conflicts this morning, including one at North Kargar Street in Iranshahr.
