Iran has made the decision to erect a barrier along its Afghanistan border in response to mounting security worries. Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, regional stability has been at jeopardy, which is why this decision was made.
According to Iranian officials, the main goals of the border fence are to stop terrorist operations and smuggling. Iranian authorities assert that more than 5 million inhabitants of Afghanistan are residing in Iran illegally, according to reports in international media.
Iran’s security is the primary reason for the border barrier project, according to the country’s minister of defense. It is said that during the Taliban’s leadership, Afghanistan developed become a regional hub for terrorist groups.
Numerous Afghan nationals have been compelled to move due to the Taliban’s policies and the worsening security situation.
