Iran has made the decision to close its border with Afghanistan due to worries about terrorism.
Terrorist activity has increased in the area, particularly in the neighboring nations, since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021. Afghanistan is home to a number of terrorist groups that are influenced by the Taliban, including the Islamic State of Khorasan and the TTP. Iran recently made the decision to close its border with Afghanistan due to terrorist incidents.
The Iranian media reports that terrorist groups operating under the Taliban’s banner have significantly increased their terrorist activity in Iran and Pakistan.
Iran, fed up with the escalating threat of terrorism, has begun construction of a 300-kilometer wall that will be 4 meters high and extend along the Afghan border.
The resurgence and reactivation of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan, according to Iranian Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, poses a serious threat to the area. The Kerman bombing brought terrorists from Afghanistan to Iran, seriously undermining the nation’s security.
Caspian News claims that there has been a significant rise in both drug trafficking by illegal immigrants via the Afghan border and acts of terrorism since the fall of the Taliban rule. Five million of the more than eight million Afghan nationals living illegally in Iran have been expelled by the country’s authorities.
