Afghanistan: Taliban minister meets son of resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud in Iran

KABUL, 11 January 2022, (TON): The Taliban's foreign minister said “he held talks in Iran on the weekend with Ahmad Massoud, son of the late legendary Afghan resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, and guaranteed his security if he returned home.”

Massoud's Panjshir Valley forces provided the last resistance in September to the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, weeks after government troops capitulated.

In a video posted on Monday by state media on Twitter, Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said “he also met Ismail Khan, a Herat province warlord who surrendered to the Taliban and left the country.”

The Taliban had announced Muttaqi's departure to Tehran for talks with Iranian officials but made no mention of any plans to meet exiled leaders.

Muttaqi said in the video "we met commander Ismail Khan and Ahmad Massoud, and other Afghans in Iran, and assured them that anyone can come to Afghanistan and live without any concerns.”
