Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] The ruling Taliban movement in Afghanistan confirms the ceasefire on the border with Iran, Afghan TV channel Tolo News reported on December 1, citing Deputy Minister of Information and Culture Bilal Karimi. According to him, the fighting took place in the Kang district of the western Afghan province of Nimroz. Karimi did not specify the reasons for the armed conflict. We will remind, earlier the Afghan media reported about the battles with the use of artillery between the Iranian border guards and the Taliban (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation). According to the Afghan media, the Taliban (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) captured prisoners and several Iranian checkpoints. In turn, the Iranian Foreign Ministry denied information about the seizure of Iranian border checkpoints.
Bilal Karim, deputy front man of the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews that the forces clashed in the border areas in Nimroz province. He said the festivities have stopped and that there were no casualties. He did not give further details about the causes. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe. The window was looking better all the time.... local sources in Nimroz province said the festivities started on Wednesday afternoon and continued for several hours. Sources said Islamic Emirate forces had captured five outposts of the Iranian forces in the border areas.
Amaj News based in Kabul also quoted local sources as saying that Iranian forces used heavy weapons and the Taliban dispatched armored American Humvees to confront Iran’s border troops. Later, Tasnim News affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard reported that a "misunderstanding" led Taliban forces to open fire at some Iranian civilians who very close to the border line, and Iranian troops replied. The website stressed that the clashes have ended. The Islamic Republic first welcomed the Taliban victory, presenting it as a defeat for the United States, but later terror attacks against Shiite Afghans led to protests in Iran and warnings from Tehran that the Taliban must protect minorities. Iran has also been demanding an inclusive government in Afghanistan, while the Taliban have kept their tight control. | |||
