Iran’s President: US ‘defeat’ in Afghanistan a chance for peace
Zarif on Monday met with Yue Xiaoyong, China’s special envoy to Afghanistan, in Tehran.

A statement by the Iranian foreign ministry said Zarif emphasised the necessity for preventing more violence and war. He also referred to the displacement of Afghan citizens and their taking refuge in neighbouring countries as one of the most important and urgent aspects of developments in Afghanistan.

The meeting came the same day that Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China is ready to deepen “friendly and cooperative” relations with Taliban’s Afghanistan.

An Iranian official said on Sunday the country has prepared accommodation in three provinces bordering Afghanistan to provide temporary refuge to Afghans fleeing the conflict in their country.

Afghanistan: Taliban offensive puts Iran in a bind

Iranian border guards know that the tense situation along the border is being followed with great attention in Tehran and on social networks. Despite years of bilateral talks between the Iranian government and representatives of the Taliban, the Islamists are hated in Iran.

In 1998, Iran almost launched a military campaign against the Taliban. The Taliban had previously killed eight Iranian diplomats and a correspondent of the official news agency IRNA at the Iranian Consulate in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i Sharif. The day of his assassination, August 8, is still marked as "Journalists' Day" in Iran.

Against this backdrop, many Iranian journalists openly criticize the talks between Tehran and the Taliban.

The US administration under former President Donald Trump accused Iran of supplying weapons to the Taliban to attack American soldiers in Afghanistan. Iran denied the accusations and welcomed the withdrawal of US forces from its immediate neighborhood.

For border security, therefore, an agreement with the Taliban would now be important for Iran.
