An Iranian daily has sounded the alarm regarding the potential danger posed by the Taliban along Iran's borders reflecting concerns in Tehran.

Jomhouri-e Eslami newspaper wrote of the critical need to address the issue, highlighting the risks posed to both the eastern regions of Iran and the broader geopolitical landscape, while Tehran usually downplays the issue in a bid to retain calm.
The editorial speaks of the plight of the people of the eastern part of the country and the prolonged water shortages they endure at the hands of the Taliban which continues to refuse to deliver Iran's water share from the Helmand River.
The newspaper claims that “safeguarding Iran's rights and ensuring border security while preventing the spread of negative consequences from the Taliban's authority in Afghanistan can be achieved through political means” in a call to arms to the nation.
Referencing the ruling Taliban leadership's two-year reign, the newspaper highlighted Afghanistan's 12% increase in the industrial production of narcotics and the surge in the production of methamphetamine. "This trend highlights the Taliban's reliance on the narcotics trade as a source of revenue, effectively engaging in drug terrorism," the newspaper wrote.
The editorial shows the regime's growing concern about its Afghan neighbors, which in May saw two Iranians killed and one Taliban soldier dead in a border dispute over water rights. In August, an aerial photo circulating on social media led to extensive criticism of the government for “conceding” thousands of hectares of Iranian land to the Taliban. The photo shows a 130 km long security wall built by Iran at some distance from the border demarcation line with Afghanistan which is along the Hirmand (Helmand) River.

 
Terrorist source funded by Saudis and whose 'journalists' recently visited Israel's intelligence minister to become their new tool.

Disregard.
 
Why you use Iran international as a source?
This channel is a supporter of terrorists and enemy of Iran.

Almost All of their news are fake and propaganda.
None creditable terrorist source.

the article was actually written by Jomhourieh-Eslami News paper and they stated those concerns

Afghanistan is a landlocked country.

Go over any financial trail of drug and human trafficking and two common factors will emerge. Bharat and Faras.

Human trafficking I agree with the point. Indians immigrate to many countries. But drug trafficking?
 

The newspaper going by the name Jomhuriye Eslami (Islamic Republic) is a liberal media outlet. As such, the positions it defends will tend to echo the west's agenda vis à vis Iran. This is why the oppositionist, foreign-funded, anti-Iranian broadcaster "Iran International" is quoting them in an approving manner.

In fact, there is a well documented, tacit form of coordination between zionist- / western-controlled Persian-language propaganda broadcasters based in the UK and USA on the one hand, and the local reformist / moderate press inside Iran on the other. Several individuals working today for these overseas Persian channels, are in fact former journalists of the local liberal press of Iran who left the country for Europe and north America. Also, these two sets of media clearly serve each other with news stories, as one representative of a foreign satellite broadcaster publicly admitted. One way in which they do this is that liberal media in Iran plant stories, and foreign media then take these up and relay them to a wider audience.

Reformists / moderates have been going out of their way advocating military intervention against the Taleban even though to date there has been no valid justification for such an undertaking, which would only have resulted in bugging Iran down. Which is exactly why the USA regime is also hoping that Iran would act in such a blatantly short sighted manner.

Interestingly, those same liberals were opposed to Iran assisting Syria against extremist armed groups, much like they oppose Iran's support for the Palestinian cause and Lebanese HezbAllah. When it comes to the latter, as well as to NATO, they will scream and shout that the Islamic Republic has been "wasting" the country's resources on a confrontation "of choice" which supposedly hasn't benefited her but only generated costs; but when it comes to the Taleban, they suddenly turn into fervent foreign policy hawks. Thereby, they showcase their alignment on the strategic interests of the west and the zionists i.e. Iran's paramount foreign enemies.

As far as Afghanistan is concerned by the way, you may want to note furthermore that the same "Iran International" has a sister channel, "Afghanistan International" intended for Afghan audiences. Now, while "Iran International" in its reporting on Afghanistan spends its time trying to influence Iranian public opinion towards supporting comprehensive military action against the Taleban, its associate "Afghanistan International" keeps inciting our Afghan brothers and sisters against Islamic Iran. This reflects the usual divide and rule policy of the zio-American empire against peoples of West Asia. Engineering conflicts in Iran's vicinity in order to embroil the Islamic Republic is a central element in Washington's current efforts against Iran, as can be seen with recent events taking place in eastern Syria, the south Caucasus and northern Iraq.

I don't know what your motivation is for posting this brother, so I will withhold any type of judgement, however as you can see from user reactions, the overwhelming majority of Iranians here are not keen at all to let themselves be misled by media mouthpieces of the zio-American empire.

Iran International's main mentor is Israel. Its a shit source.

Taliban is a reality of Afghanistan, we have to live with that. Pakistan and Iran have mutual concerns in Afghanistan.
And i worry Taliban have some struck some deal with US/CIA.

lets get one thing straight- it was some years after Iran started giving strong support to the taliban (intelligence, weapons, hosting leaders, training militants on its soil) and its operations in Afghanistan that NATO's time in Afghanistan was on a countdown. I think Iran learned "new ways" of dealing with the Taliban since the NATO occupation of Afghanistan - its not only the Taliban that "evolved" during that time. Lets see what happens in the near future. Taliban want to act tough against neighbors but they know Afghanistan is a literal hell hole from decades of war with NATO and needs foreign investments badly since the Afghan nation is broke and broken.
 
Afghanistan and Iran will never go to war under no circumstances, we may at some points have misgivings, but we can easily solve that through dialogue, we will never allow anyone to sabotage our relations with Iran, Iran does not have to worry about its eastern border, as the years go by our interests will be more and more tied economically as they are already tied culturally, and we hope to grow together so that we may become closer to one another in the near future.
 
Human trafficking I agree with the point. Indians immigrate to many countries. But drug trafficking?

It would be naive to assume that India would forego such a lucrative business. They have successfully imposed drug culture in Punjab and have historically been involved in drug trade in Africa and South East Asia.

Well said. Water rights, rogue Taliban members attacking Iranian border posts and smuggling are the biggest issues at the moment (from Iran's perspective). These can be resolved through dialogue, and I hope they will be.

you even don't knew Jomhurieh-Islami is considred an Osul-Gara newspaper (Principalist) but on a more balanced level than nonsense like Keyhan or Resalat


and the rest of your post is your usuall wall of text
and if you want to knew
صاحب امتیاز این روزنامه از آغاز انتشار، سید علی خامنه‌ای بوده‌است. پس از رسیدن وی به رهبری، به پیشنهاد مسیح مهاجری، «برای آنکه اشتباهات روزنامه به نام رهبری تمام نشود» نام سید علی خامنه‌ای از شناسنامه نسخه کاغذی حذف شد.[۱]
Even after the closure of Islamic Republic Party, the Jomhouri-e Eslami newspaper continued its work. The paper is one of the state-sponsored publications together with Ettela'at and Kayhan of which publishers are directly appointed by the Supreme Leader.[2]
damn i didn't knew now our supreme leader is considered a reformist Zionist western liberal agent according to you guys
you guys are just label and name call anybody who is against your view.

by the way the paper always criticized for censoring view of the people who are against government
Islamic Republican has a daily circulation of over 100,000 copies and is considered to be one of the most influential newspapers in Iran. The newspaper has been the subject of controversy over the years, with some critics accusing it of promoting the Iranian government's propaganda and censoring dissenting views.[4]
