Iran’s special Presidential envoy for Afghanistan Hassan Kazemi Qomi said the U.S. is seeking to turn Afghanistan into a hotspot for the war-torn country’s neighbors. “Due to the long borders that we have with Afghanistan, the enemies are trying to create insecurity from this direction,”.
The envoy in an interview with IRNA said“
The Americans are acting in such a way to prevent Afghanistan’s interactions with other countries,”.
According to Qomi, the U.S. is using many leverages to “manage foreign relations of Afghanistan.”He stated, “They use the blocked money of Afghanistan as a tool and lever for exerting pressure.”
“Therefore, in the policy of yesterday’s occupiers, the continuation of instability in Afghanistan is important, because this country must become a critical area for its neighbors. This is while the countries of the region want Afghanistan to go towards stability, peace, and construction,” he said.
Qomi called on the Taliban leaders to be vigilant and move toward regional con- vergence and cooperation. He also urged the countries of the region to encourage the Tali- ban to prioritize convergence. “This is what we are following now and our consultations in Pakistan were within the framework of this issue,” he said.
