The Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations stated that ISIS is attempting to destabilize Afghanistan and the region.
Ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani, representing the Islamic Republic at the United Nations, addressed the UN Security Council on Thursday, stating that the security situation in Afghanistan is highly critical.
Iravani referenced the recent death of the Taliban’s Minister for Refugees in an explosion, highlighting that no one, including Taliban leaders, is safe from terrorism. He urged the group’s leadership to fulfill their commitments and take decisive action against terrorist networks.
Iravani also mentioned organized attacks against the Hazara people in Afghanistan, labeling them as instances of extremist violence.
He highlighted the deep humanitarian crises in Afghanistan, urging the international community to address these issues impartially, without political conditions or bias.
Another key point of Iravani’s speech was the presence of Afghan refugees in Iran. He noted that Iran hosts around 6 million Afghan refugees and spends $10 billion annually to meet their needs.
Iravani criticized the “insufficient” international support for addressing the needs of refugees in Iran, pointing out that both Iran and Pakistan require continued and sustainable assistance.
Ambassador Iravani’s remarks underscore the pressing challenges faced by both Afghanistan and its neighboring countries, particularly Iran, in managing the repercussions of ongoing instability in the region.
His calls for international solidarity emphasize the need for a more coordinated and unbiased approach to humanitarian aid.
