Iran hosted intra-Afghan talks on Wednesday as the date of the US military withdrawal nears.
Delegations from the Afghan government and the Taliban participated in the meeting in the Irani capital, Tehran. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif chaired the talks, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid also confirmed their participation in a tweet.
The Afghan government supported by US and NATO forces has been at war with the Taliban since the US invasion in 2001, which ended Taliban rule. The radical Islamist group still controls parts of the country, however. US President Joe Biden decided in April to remove US troops from the country. The withdrawal is ongoing and scheduled to be complete in August.
