We reject the Iranian foreign minister’s allegation asserting that Daesh leaders have been transferred to Afghanistan from Iraq, Syria & Libya.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has meticulously fought against Daesh both during & after the end of the occupation, neutralizing the destructive capability of the group.
If Iran has any intelligence about the Daesh members moving to Afghanistan, we hope that it will share the same so that Afghan security forces can take necessary actions. It is noteworthy that Afghanistan does not share a border with the mentioned Arab countries. Instead of shifting responsibility to others, countries should fulfill their international obligations regarding security of their borders.
We reiterate that the IEA will not allow anyone to threaten the national security of Afghanistan, or use our territory against others. The Iranian officials should rather focus on constructive economic, political & social relations between the two neighboring & friendly peoples and countries instead of raising false alarms about Afghanistan.
