Taliban Prepares for 'Water War' against Iran
Tension has prevailed over the Iran-Afghanistan borders that span over 900 kilometers upon pressures put by Tehran on the government of “Taliban” regarding the former’s share of water from the Helmand River that flows into Hamun Lake in Iranian Baluchestan province. Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi stated last week that the whole world is fueling the dispute between Iran and Afghanistan. In mid-May, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi issued a warning to the Taliban: honor Afghanistan’s water-supply agreement or face the consequences.
