Financial Tribune:  Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian said by building dams on Hirmand River, the eastern neighbor Afghanistan has significantly reduced the volume of water entering Iranian territories in Sistan-Baluchestan Province. “Over the past year, Afghanistan has blocked the flow of Hirmand water into the country, such that the volume has decreased to 2-3 million cubic meters from 150 mcm,” Ardakanian was quoted as saying by ILNA on Saturday.

    Those people, (IN AND AROUND AFGHANISTAN/IRAN SEESTAHN/NEEMROSE REGION), are the same ancient ones who shared and lived off the land as one for thousands of years and obviously their great Helmand river made the fertile large basin viable for the good of all those regional farming communities and inhabitants.
    .
    I personally believe that all the great people of SEESTAHN AND NEEMROSE have the legitimate right to that body of water as much as any body else irrespective of citizenships..
    .
    Remember; it was shared all along through out its common history by the same folks as one and it would be a shame to deprive the only regional livelihood which would hurt the regular farmers and the eco-system of that naturally-formed Great scenic Ancient Basin, (it is not manmade).

    Afghanistan was never a so called; British protectorate during 19 century- the crazy Englishman actually invaded the whole region and repulsed several times, shich included the Great Seeatahn region,
    *
    They divided the region for their own
    greedy
    colonial needs and
    EXPLOITATIONS.

    I just can’t believe how ignorant you journalists and writers are about the true history of great people of Afghanistan; especially, on their stand against the passive-looking but yet the most aggressive empire on history of humanity..

    The Anglo/US savages
    are all poised to
    destroy the true
    Islamic civilization- they clearly sees it as a imminently threat to their survival.

    *The region was one of the historically eatliest unified Islamic stronghold that were established and run by the Safaryahns of Zaranj/Seestan region. It was established by Yahqoob Ibn- Lais of Saffaryahn (coppersmiths).
    .
    Yaqoob’s ambitious drive led to great expansions into all directions, on later parts of 800’s- the empire lasted till late 900’s- upto the rise of Sooltahn Mahmood father’s empire, in Ghazna.
    .
    The Saffaryshns were also famed for expanding the arts of glass-making in the whole region- huge quantities of fine works as fragments and/or intacts glasseswares and bottles are still getting periodically recovered and are surfaced on current international markets from the past reins of the empire and its surroundings.
    .
    The earlier fine ancients glass-making industries of the Romans and Greeks,

    (which were mainly based in Venice Italy, Alexandria Egypt and Colon Germany under Romans),
    incorporated into mixed hybrids under the subsequent Saffaryshn’s ambitious Islamic rules.

    The Roman era glass-making industries where also stationed heavily in Syria, where where, after the conquest of the Muslims, the connected artisans may have revived the earlier arts in Zarange/Seestan lake regions.
    .
    I am not an expert on ancient art works to verify that- but, from what I have seen, the glass works strongly resemble the original Greeks/Roman glass-related artifacts and with obviously additional Islamic cultural and artistic impacts.

    Amazing glass-smelting
    works- possibly
    during the
    Saffaryahns period, (from mid 800’s to late 900’s), of Neem-Rose/Seestahn Great Basin region.
