Khamenei urges Afghanistan to tie ‘defense belt’ against Israel
He also said that “every strike launched by any group against Israel is a service to the region and to all humanity.”
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Friday called on Afghanistan and other Islamic countries to tie defense belt against Israel.
"If any nation wants to avoid the paralyzing siege of the enemy, it must open its eyes from the beginning, be awake," Khamenei said in a Friday prayer speech in Tehran. “When it sees the enemy going to another nation, it should partner with that oppressed nation and help it, cooperate with it so that the enemy does not succeed there. If the enemy succeeds there, it will come to this next point.”
"We Muslims have neglected this fact for many years, and we have seen the consequences. Today we must no longer neglect. We must be aware. We must tie the belt of defense, the belt of independence, the belt of honor, from Afghanistan to Yemen, from Iran to Gaza and Lebanon, in all Islamic countries and Islamic nations.”
He also said that “every strike launched by any group against Israel is a service to the region and to all humanity.”

Over 230,000 Afghan refugees returned home from Iran in last month, IOM reports
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reported that more than 230,000 Afghan migrants have returned to the country from Iran over the past month.
According to the report, this is the highest number of returnees recorded from Iran to Afghanistan this year.
The report stated that this marks a significant increase in returnees, surpassing the previous high in May, when just over 190,000 Afghans returned,
Of the total returnees in September, 43 percent were deported, while 50 percent returned voluntarily, according to the IOM’s report.
“Inflows from the Islamic Republic of Iran make up nearly three-quarters of the total, with approximately 91,000 Afghans entering the country this week alone,” the IOM stated. In comparison, inflows from Pakistan accounted for just 29 percent.
However, Afghan immigrants who do not have residence documents are prohibited from working in some provinces of Iran.
Recently, head of Eslamshahr city's Labor Behnam Emami ordered that no immigrants without documents should be employed and only immigrants with documents can be recruited for hard jobs.
The forced deportation of Afghan refugees from Iran and Pakistan has been going on for a long time, but it has recently increased
According to experts, the Afghan government needs to deal with the problems of immigrants through diplomatic means.
Earlier, Iran's interior minister said that his country is no longer able to accept Afghan citizens and emphasized that deporting "illegal" immigrants is one of the country's priorities.
The Islamic Emirate, meanwhile, has repeatedly asked the governments of Iran and Pakistan to deal with Afghan immigrants in accordance with international laws and good neighborliness.
