Afghanistan: US exit is with caveats | M K Bhadrakumar
April 22, 2021
The United States and NATO are yet to begin the withdrawal of their forces from Afghanistan but the eyes are cast over the horizon at what lies after the ‘forever war’ formally ends. The US exit strategy in Afghanistan assumes the look of that random arbitrariness of a lottery that was the case with its Iraq war ending inconclusively in 2011.
Evidence is piling that the US president Joe Biden’s declaration of April 14 on total troop withdrawal by September 11 may not be the last word on that topic. The Pentagon commanders and the CIA seem to be “tweaking” the decision.
Rouhani met Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in the Iranian capital Tehran on Wednesday.
“Security is a common concern of the two countries, and the development of relations in this regard is imperative,” Rouhani said, according to a statement released by his office.
The Pakistan-Iran border is roughly 800km (497 miles) long along Pakistan’s western and Iran’s eastern side, and has been the site of several security incidents, mainly targeting Iranian forces, in recent years.
On Wednesday, the two countries inaugurated a third border crossing at Mand-Pishin as part of an initiative to increase trade between the neighbours.
