Institute of Peace and Diplomatic Studies Pakistan (IPDS): The Iranian leadership’s position on Afghanistan is clear and unambiguous.
The directors of the Pakistan Institute of Peace and Diplomatic Studies (IPDS) described the Supreme Leader’s recent remarks on the situation in Afghanistan as precise, clear and a direct indication of the shameful withdrawal of US troops from the region, adding: .
“Ayatollah Asef Noor” said in an interview in Islamabad: “Ayatollah Khamenei has an important role in shaping policy-making in Iran and is a source of spiritual authority to confirm the critical stages of foreign policy.”
Referring to the Supreme Leader’s remarks on the situation in Afghanistan during the first meeting between the President and members of the 13th Cabinet, he said: “In his recent speech, the Iranian leader rightly referred to the shameful US withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years of occupation.” کردن. His remarks reflect the fact that Iran views the past, present and future of Afghanistan and its aftermath of Taliban rule.
“Khamenei rightly believes that governments change, but people and countries remain the same,” said the Pakistani diplomat. He also pointed to an important policy that the nature of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s relations with governments also depends on the nature of their relations with Iran.
He added: “It is true that it acts as an independent government, this is how the government reacts to the behavior of other governments.” The international system does the same. It is important to note here that the United States has continued to secure Afghanistan’s independence and has always supported opposition forces.
“There is a famous saying in international politics that you can change your friends, but you can not change your neighbors,” Asif Noor said. The United States left Afghanistan after the chaos in Afghanistan, where the people were left in poverty.
He added: “Today, the people of Afghanistan are facing the challenge of health and poverty. Iran stands by the people of Afghanistan and, as the Supreme Leader has pointed out, Iran has supported Afghanistan from the past to the present. The country has hosted thousands of Afghan refugees and a large amount of trade is being done by supporting Afghanistan’s economy and trade in world markets.
The director of the Pakistan Institute for Peace and Diplomatic Affairs said: “The remarks of the Supreme Leader of Iran are important because it can be an effective argument that one of the reasons for the US presence is the siege of Iran and the use of its political and strategic tactics against Afghanistan.” .
“The position of the Supreme Leader is something I support and it is very clear on the issue of Afghanistan,” he said. As Afghanistan’s neighbor, Pakistan faces significant border threats and escalating refugee influx.
Mohammad Asif Noor added: “Iran and Pakistan support each other’s views and positions on the issue of Afghanistan and believe that any solution should be led by the people and political leaders of Afghanistan and belong to the Afghans.”
“Pakistan is closely monitoring the situation in Afghanistan,” he said. We are a strong supporter of lasting peace and stability in our neighborhood. This policy and the firm stance of Islamabad have been communicated to them during the Taliban delegation’s previous visits, as well as to other Afghan groups.
The Pakistani expert continued: “The so-called American war on terrorism was a painful experience for the people of Afghanistan.” The United States is responsible for the devastation it has inflicted on Afghans. The recent terrorist attacks in Kabul and the US bombing of civilian targets under the guise of ISIS show the brutality of both sides.
“The United States has never been successful in the war on terror, and the result is that today terrorist elements from Afghanistan are launching attacks against China, Iran and Pakistan,” he said.
Asef Noor said: “The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been concerned about anonymous violence in Afghanistan, and now, after the withdrawal of the United States, Iran has once again declared its support and solidarity with the Afghan people.”
