Iran’s ambitious wall project, initiated in 2024, aims to seal the border with a 4-metre-high, 300-kilometre concrete barrier. Satellite imagery reveals the wall is being built in sections, with 75 kilometres completed as of January 2025.

The report identifies over 500 security installations along the border, including 337 watchtowers, 142 outposts, artillery positions, and new military camps. These installations are strategically placed to maximise surveillance and response capabilities.
