KABUL, 29 April 2022, (TON): The Interior Minister of Iran, Ahmad Wahidi, said “the border tension between Afghanistan and Iran was due to misunderstandings and that they contacted the Islamic Emirate’s officials to address the issue.”
This comes as video making the rounds on social media show that Iran has deployed more troops along the border with Afghanistan in the Islam Qala port in western Herat province.
Wahidi told reporters in Iran “Islamic Emirate forces came to the border. They were given instructions. The contact was made with their officials in Kabul and they asked them to return. They went back. Of course, this was repeated once again. We call on the officials in Kabul to it.”
But the people living along the Durand Line are worried about the rising tensions.
Ahmad Zubair, a resident of Herat said “there was a clash on the border between Iran and Afghanistan. We want this tension to be solved via negotiations.”
