Today in Kabul a large number of activists demonstrated against neighboring countries interfering in the internal affairs of Afghanistan, particularly Iran.
According to previous Afghan Intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh Iran has been actively working to gather information on key Ministries of Afghanistan. Amrullah Saleh said that “the Ministry of Information and Culture of Iran has specific duty in Afghanistan and that is to collect secret information from important ministries.”
The Yemeni coastguard intercepted the Iranian-registered Jihan ship in its territorial waters earlier this year and is currently in the process of prosecuting nine crew members for “attempting to smuggle sophisticated arms into the country,” according to the official SABA news agency.
According to the indictment against the defendants: “Nine crew members travelled to Iran using forged documents last year, where they received training in the use of arms, explosives, sniper attacks, urban warfare, and advanced naval communication. Following this, they returned to Yemen with over 40 tons of arms, explosives, and ammunition hidden in carefully-concealed compartments of the Jihan, intended to be smuggled into the country.”
What is your opinion regarding this news? In what light do you find Iran’s intervention in Afghanistan and the Middle East ?
