IEA has good cooperation with Tehran in countering terrorism: Iran

Iranian Minister of Intelligence Seyyed Ismail Khatib says the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has good cooperation with Tehran in the fight against terrorism.

Speaking with the Iranian media, Ismail Khatib said that Daesh has been pushed from Syria and Turkey to northern Afghanistan.

Khatib added that IEA has less access to these areas and that the Daesh group has made those areas their hideout.

He further stated that since IEA’s takeover, the leaders of this group have been targeted and now Daesh is miles away from Iran's border. According to him, Daesh is settled in the areas of Badakhshan province that cannot be considered a threat to Tehran.

"We must act cautiously, the US left Afghanistan with cowardice, the Taliban became the ruler in Afghanistan, and they cooperated well with us in the fight against terrorism, but Daesh pushed from Syria and Turkey to northern Afghanistan, where the Taliban have less influence and Daesh has made those areas its headquarters,” he said.

Over the past two years, many operations have been reportedly carried out against the shelters of Daesh in the center and different provinces of Afghanistan.

According to experts, destroying terrorist groups, especially Daesh, requires regional cooperation, and neighboring countries and the region should cooperate with the Islamic Emirate in this combat.

IEA’s deputy spokesman Bilal Karimi, meanwhile, says the security forces have curbed the activities of Daesh and destroyed this group in Afghanistan. According to him, Afghanistan's borders are more secure than ever, and no group is allowed to threaten the security of other countries using Afghanistan’s soil.

These remarks were made while recently, in the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which was held in Kazakhstan, concern has been expressed about the increase in the activities of terrorist groups in Afghanistan. The deputy of the National Security Council of Kazakhstan said at the meeting of SCO that the presence and activities of terrorist groups in Afghanistan are a real threat to the projects of the organization's members.

The concerns that the Islamic Emirate has always called “baseless”.

The U.S. House Of Representatives has passed a legislation on evacuation of Afghans who assisted Americans during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.

“The passage of the CARE Authorization Act of 2024 further underscores the commitment made by the U.S. government to safeguard those who served shoulder-to-shoulder with our personnel during the twenty-year mission in Afghanistan,” Congresswoman Dina Titus said in a statement.

“The State Department has made it clear: There is no deadline for the crucial job of protecting Afghan allies. By authorizing the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts at the State Department, we can more effectively relocate and resettle those who have qualified to immigrate to the U.S. as a result of their service to this country.”

In 2022 the State Department established a specialized office called the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) to streamline and coordinate the ongoing relocation and resettlement process for eligible Afghans from Afghanistan and Pakistan to the United States.

The CARE Authorization Act of 2024 will formally authorize the CARE office at the State Department for three years and grant important authorities to advance its mission. These include an extension of authorities to enter into personal services contracts as well as measures to streamline the transfer of funds to and from other agencies involved in the Afghan relocation mission.
