At an international conference focusing on Afghanistan, Iran’s top diplomat urges attention to the growing presence of the Daesh Takfiri terror group in the Central Asian country.
“At the Heart of Asia summit, we laid emphasis on the need for attention to the Daesh phenomenon in Afghanistan, which is expanding these days,” Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on the sidelines of the conference in the Azeri capital of Baku on Friday.
“The summit is an effort to create common interests and cooperation, especially among regional countries, towards security and economic development of Afghanistan,” he added.
The conference was launched in 2011 to provide a platform for discussions on regional issues, particularly encouraging security, political, and economic cooperation among Afghanistan and its neighbors.
This year’s edition gathered 250 representatives from 40 countries and international organizations.
Zarif further said the Afghan conflict does not have a military solution, adding that if there are no comprehensive strategies in the area, the achievement of lasting peace would be impossible.
“Afghanistan has made positive achievements in various areas, but it has [also] been faced with foreign invasion and the threat of Daesh,” the Iranian top diplomat said, and asserted, “Prevention of this threat is possible through common endeavor by all the regional countries.”
The terrorist outfit, which has become notorious for its brutality worldwide, began establishing a notable presence in Afghanistan almost a year after making sweeping land grabs in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
It has mostly been populating the eastern province of Nangarhar, from where it has carried out high-profile brutal attacks against major population centers in the Central Asian country.
Former Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, said last month that the United States — which has been maintaining military presence in Afghanistan since 2001 — was colluding with Daesh there and allowing the Takfiri group to flourish in the war-stricken country.

Have you ever noticed any sign of Anglo/US involvement in Afghanistan through third party foreign-sponsored ISIS activities, the main source of current unrests in certain parts of the country or you just simply ignore that- is that because you are getting tired of additional sanctions by bullying international powers ?????
Also can you explain if the whole thing was
initially empowered through the financial supports of the oil-rich Gulf “PUPPET States”.
.
I am % 100 sure that the Western intelligence agencies with the tacit of the rogue generals on the ground created the phenomenon so they will be able to sustain anarchy and somehow, directly or indirectly, manipulate the military, political and economic affairs of the Mashriqee regions of Afghanistan.
The reason they were resorting to such kind of sabotage was that Shia/Sunni problem never existed in those areas due to lack of larger established Shia population. Also the majority of the population; (Pashtoons and all others), are very religious and they have always gotten along well without outside interference.
.
The Anglo/US military strategist are playing their bizarre but calculated global games by creating such kind of fertile grounds for growing opposing militants so they could take advantage of the situation.
.
My big question is that why don’t you elaborate, in a bit more details, on those issues of criminal interferences by Anglo/US warmongers and their slaves-
.
COULD YOU PLEASE !

A serious question that I have for you is about the very cozy relationship of Iran with the pupoet regime of Afghanistan which is obviously the main source of problem for the overwhelming majority of the population of Afghanistan who are very conservative and spiritually independent-minded.
.
What have you done or worked out to introduce a logical solution for that dilemma , other than giving the “enslaved leaderships” tacit signs of approvals which basically plays out at all levels by the hand of Anglo/US war criminals and does not look like a sincere Iranian approach by the majority of the people in Afghanistan.
.
.
To give you an example:
I have never seen any attempts from you government body to resort to some sort of reconciliation program among the population of Afghanistan in general- you have and always had an opportunity to create a mutual respect and sense of trust between Sunni and Shia Muslims in Afghanistan- all you have done is to tacitly appease the invader’s agendas and maintained your primary contacts with certain smaller groups who really don’t count much- and I understand that the invaders don’t want you get heavily involved that way but they do use your overall inputs negatively for suppression of the right of the majority in the country.

What I am trying to tell you what is your sincere good wish for peaceful resolution in conflict-imposed Afghanistan in terms of how to create a mutual respectful environment for the Shia and Sunni population groups so they would know you mean well for all of Afghanistan and then be able to work under one respectful and unified agenda.
In another word what is you significant overture for real reconciliation of the all Muslim communities in spite of some theological differences that make the two Muslim communities suspect, and even disrespect, each other.
.
I am talking about a historically a very significant issue among the Muslims in the region for the last many centuries. The foreign enemies of Muslims have heavily exploited that situation.
.
So; to make it short, what is there for you to help bring about the much needed trust among the main-stream Muslims and by doing so, be able to prevent the Western-controlled fanatics from sabotaging the regular good folks of ours.
.
Iran is a well-established mature country that the regular folks in Afghanistan, expect something very honorable to fairly help all the population irrespect of certain past loyalties and hang ups.
YOU ARE CLEARLY TAKING SIDE !
