Larijani: Iran Should Be Vigilant About Taliban, Afghanistan

Former Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has called for “deeper vigilance” in the country’s diplomacy toward Afghanistan and the Taliban.

“The crime in Kunduz very soon exposed the nature of the new vicious organization [of forces] in Afghanistan,” he said in a tweet, in reference to the bloody attack on a mosque in the Afghan city of Kunduz.

“This false show by power calls for deeper diplomatic vigilance to ensure Iran’s national interests and security are protected.”

The Daesh terrorists claimed responsibility for the Kunduz attack, which killed dozens of Shia worshippers during Friday prayers.

Afghanistan has witnessed several such suicide bombings against ordinary people since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and the formation of the cabinet of their so-called Islamic Emirate.
