NOURNEWS - An informed official at the General Staff of the Armed Forces told "NOURNEWS" that the Afghan government has asked Tehran for help to return its border guards who took refuge in Iran after the Taliban forces attacked the Qala border crossing on Thursday.
The informed official added: "Kabul officials have asked Iran to make arrangements for the return of these forces to Kabul, and Iran, considering its humanitarian approaches, is accepting this request and is preparing a direct flight to Kabul to return these forces."
Yesterday, Thursday, the Islam Qala crossing at the zero point of the border of the Herat province of Afghanistan with the Dugharun border in Iran fell to the Taliban forces, after which the border guards of this country took refuge inside Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, meanwhile, hosted a meeting of delegations from the parties involved in Afghanistan on Wednesday and Thursday to discuss issues between them, which ended with a joint statement.
Tehran, with the support of the legitimate government of Afghanistan, has always called for the parties involved to avoid unrest and war, and has done its utmost to resolve the country's problems through political dialogue between Afghan groups.
