Zabihullah Mujahid: Ready to Support Iran if US Launches Attack
Zabihullah Mujahid stated on Sunday that Afghanistan’s people would show sympathy and possible cooperation with Iran if requested, should the United States launch military action.
Taliban spokesperson, Mujahid added that Iran had demonstrated resilience in recent conflicts and expressed hope that war between Washington and Tehran could still be avoided.
He stressed that Afghanistan does not favor war and prefers peaceful solutions as negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program continue amid regional uncertainty.
Tensions remain high as Washington boosts military presence in the Middle East while preparing for possible escalation if diplomacy fails.
Officials say new rounds of US–Iran negotiations are expected soon, while military preparations continue in case talks collapse.
Regional countries have repeatedly warned that any conflict involving Iran could destabilize neighboring states and worsen economic and humanitarian conditions across the wider region.
Reports, including from Reuters, say US forces are preparing contingency plans should President Donald Trump authorize military action, while Marco Rubio has expressed doubts about negotiation success.
At the same time, diplomatic contacts between Kabul and Tehran have expanded, with both sides increasing economic and political engagement in recent years.
