Afghanistan
Afghanistan, Iran to Form Strategic Cooperation Pact
2020-06-23
Is this meaningful, dear Reader?
[ToloNews] Afghanistan and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in a joint statement agreed to finalize a comprehensive document on strategic cooperation between the two countries within the next three months, the Afghan Foreign Ministry said.

The joint statement was issued after acting Foreign Minister Mohammad Haneef Atmar completed his two-day visit to Tehran on Sunday.

#3  Ironically, nothing is said of the narcotics problem for which Iran holds Afghanistan responsible. In forty years some 4,000 Iranian police have been killed and tens of thousands injured in anti-narcotics operations. In 2012 (the last year for dependable data) Iran had 1.2 million drug-dependent users, and the UN claimed Iran had one of the world's most severe addiction problems. Its figures in 2012 showed that drug addiction and HIV rates had soared in recent years, with injecting drug users accounting for almost 70% of the country's 22,000 detected HIV cases.

#2  Every once in a wile the Middle East has to pause for comic relief, this is one of those times. The idea, yea spectacle of the calm, rational Iranians 'cooperating' with sober and deliberative Afghans is, is...well, one would need a heart of stone.

Suggested yesterday:

Iran will push north and east in a unification effort of Russia's abandoned tribes during the churning of Turkey's forces.
