On Saturday, May 27, Taliban terrorists attacked an Iranian border post. For the attack, they used manpower and armored vehicles, coming close to the Iranian base.
About this at Twitter wrote Afghan journalist Tajuden Sorush. He distributed footage that published the Taliban (to watch the video, follow the page to the end). It is preliminary known about two dead Iranian border guards.
At the Afghan Ministry of National Defense accused Iranian military in opening fire. And one of the leaders of the Taliban even threatened conquer Iran if the elders allow jihad to be declared.
“We will fight the corrupt Islamic Republic of Iran with more enthusiasm than during the war against America,” he said.
At the same time, Iran accused the Afghan side of resolving the conflict. According to the Iranian military, the Taliban launched the attack in violation of “international law and the principles of good neighborliness” and met with strong opposition from Iranian border guards.
“Today in the morning, there was a clash between the border guards of the Zabul border regiment and unknown armed people who were planning to enter the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, at the zero point of the border, which led to a shootout and an armed conflict,” the statement said.
Note that the clash occurred after Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi warned the Taliban not to violate Iran’s water rights in the Helmand River. Tehran made accusations against Kabul, but the Taliban denied them.
In addition, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that their country does not recognize the Taliban. “We do not recognize the current rulers of Afghanistan and insist on the need for an inclusive government in Afghanistan,” the ministry said.
As GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, on January 1, an explosion was heard near the military airport in the Afghan capital Kabul. It is known about at least ten dead, and many were injured.
