Taliban Signals Potential Support for Iran if US Strikes
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid stated on Sunday that Afghanistan’s people could show sympathy and possible cooperation with Iran if requested, should the United States launch military action.
Mujahid noted that Iran had shown resilience in recent conflicts and expressed hope that war between Washington and Tehran could still be avoided.
He emphasized that Afghanistan does not favor war and prefers peaceful solutions, as negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program continue amid regional uncertainty.
Tensions remain high as the United States strengthens its military presence in the Middle East while preparing for potential escalation if diplomatic efforts fail. Officials report that new rounds of US–Iran negotiations are expected soon, although contingency plans are being readied in case talks collapse.
Regional countries have repeatedly warned that any conflict involving Iran could destabilize neighboring states and worsen economic and humanitarian conditions across the region.
Reports indicate that US forces are preparing plans should President Donald Trump authorize military action, while Senator Marco Rubio has expressed doubts about the prospects for successful negotiation.
Meanwhile, diplomatic contacts between Kabul and Tehran have expanded, with both countries increasing economic and political engagement in recent years.
