Taliban offers potential support to Iran in US conflict

The Taliban has pledged to support Iran in the event of US military strikes, with spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid indicating potential cooperation from Afghans, though not a commitment to a retaliatory war. The group prefers diplomatic solutions regarding Iran’s nuclear program and states that Iran has the capability to defend itself. Despite historical tensions due to the Shia-Sunni divide, both governments have cooperated since the Taliban regained control. Iran has also hosted millions of Afghan refugees, some of whom have been accused of espionage.
