Video: Taliban Attack on Iranian Border Post Results in Casualties

The Taliban in Afghanistan have released a video showing their assault on an Iranian border post. This report comes from the UNIAN Telegram channel.

Meanwhile, Taliban leader Abdulhamid Khurasani has announced that the Taliban is declaring war on Iran, stating, "If the big ones allow jihad, they will soon conquer Iran." Reports indicate that two people have died due to clashes with the Taliban, with both sides blaming each other for initiating the conflict.

The conflict broke out following Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi's warning earlier this month, where he demanded that the Taliban respect Iran's water rights regarding the Helmand River. He also accused the Afghan Taliban leaders of violating a 1973 agreement by restricting water flow from the river to Iran's parched eastern regions. The Taliban have denied these accusations.
