Tehran has maintained cordial ties with nearly all of the main Afghan warring factions as well as with succeeding administrations. However, Iran is unable to take the lead in acknowledging the Taliban as the rightful rulers of Afghanistan due to a number of factors.
The security threat posed by terrorists who enter from areas along the Afghan-Iranian border or encourage extremists in other nations to attack Iran is among the most significant issues.
A clear reminder of how Daesh-Khorasan Province (KP) may incite terror in Iran is the suicide bombing at the mausoleum of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, who was slain by the United States. On January 3, 2024, thousands of worshippers were in Kerman to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Al-Quds Force commander Soleimani’s martyrdom when the incident occurred.
