Iranians out of everyone can't see a sunni majority Islamic govt system in Afghanistan.... They wanted this to go on forever
Iran has condemned in the strongest terms the Sunday night attacks against the Panjshir Valley, saying the Taliban must live up to their commitments, while expressing concern about the news emerging from the province.
Stressing the need to resolve the issue of Panjshir through dialog, Khatibzadeh said laying a siege to the valley is by no means acceptable in view of international law and humanitarian law.
Khatibzadeh also expressed deep regret over the "martyrdom" of Afghan leaders during the Sunday night attacks. "The martyrdom of Afghan leaders is a source of deep regret and sorrow."
Afghanistan's TOLOnews reported that Fahim Dashti, a spokesman of the Resistance National Front (NRF) and a prominent Afghan journalist, was killed in fighting in Panjshir province on Sunday.
The NRF confirmed the news, saying General Abdul Wudod Zara had also been killed in the latest fighting.
Dashti was a senior member of the Jamiat-e-Islami party and advised resistance leader Ahmad Massoud on the defense of the valley and negotiations with the Taliban.
On Sunday, the Taliban claimed they have advanced deep into Panjshir Province – Afghanistan’s last remaining holdout for resistance forces who oppose the rule of the hardline group.
The militant group also claimed on Monday that it had taken complete control of Panjshir, three weeks after taking over the country’s capital, Kabul.
“With this victory, our country is completely taken out of the quagmire of war,” the group’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid declared.
However, the National Resistance Front disputed the Taliban’s claim, saying it was present in “strategic positions” across the valley to continue “the struggle against the Taliban and their partners.”
'Foreign interference'
Khatibzadeh also said Iran is opposed to any foreign interference in Afghanistan, and is monitoring possible acts of interventionism.
He advised those “friends making a strategic mistake” to realize that the Afghan people are the same people who fought to drive out US-led foreign forces from their country.
He also called on relevant international institutions and regional countries to help Afghanistan reach peace and stability.
The government of Afghanistan rapidly collapsed on August 15 with President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the country in the face of lightning advances of the Taliban.
The collapse of Kabul followed peace talks between the US and the Taliban and withdrawal of American forces including from the main Bagram airbase in the dead of night without informing Afghan authorities, 20 years after they invaded Afghanistan to topple the Taliban, in a war that killed, according to one estimate, between 897,000 and 929,000 people.
‘Iran striving to end suffering of Afghan people’
Elsewhere during his Monday presser, Khatibzadeh reaffirmed Iran’s principled position to help Afghan groups establish sustainable peace in their country, but emphasized that it is the incoming Afghan government’s behavior that will define Iran’s behavior toward the country.
He noted that Iran has been a friend of the Afghan people for centuries, as he pledged the Islamic Republic’s continuous support and humanitarian aid for the people of Afghanistan.
Since tensions began to soar in Afghanistan last month, Iran has urged Afghans to exercise restraint and avoid violence and fratricide, and vowed to help establish a broad-based government representing all ethnic and political groups in the war-torn country.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to help establish peace, tranquility and security while preventing fratricide in Afghanistan,” Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said in a Sunday phone call with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.

Debating with a wrong person regarding basic human needs, such as water... Have you forgotten Siffin when Maula Ali said the following after taking control of water from the enemy:
When someone claims to fight a holy war and he blocks the basic human needs such as water to the enemy then it is no longer a holy war sir. Holy war is gone the moment you block water or basic human needs to your enemy. Ask your ulema about it or read "Siffin" why Imam Ali did not block water to the enemy after taking control of the water during battle of Siffin.
Shia guards use to poison food of Sunni prisoners in Iraq. They would add crushed glass into prisoners food. US military police sole job was to stop Iraqi prison guards and cooks from killing prisoners.
