As I mentioned at the beginning, I believe no country is happy with the current situation.
Because Pakistan, although they supported Taliban for almost three decades, but they got a taste of their own medicine.
They took the American money for war and terrorism, they invested back in terrorism.
The terrorism activity in Pakistan increased according to their own data, 500%, as I mentioned before.
So they realized this was not what we wanted.
They thought they could keep the control of the Taliban.
You cannot control fire.
Iran, after the collapse of Afghanistan government, they realized that the immigrants who were in Iran
which was about 2 million, increased to 6 million people.
Iran is already having a very difficult time economically.
So that was another 6 million on top of their own population, which needed to be fed, protected, supported, educated, and blah, blah.
and the threats in terms of security and the suffrage was being, opposing itself on Iran from Afghanistan.
Tajikistan, same thing.
So I believe the current situation is not in favor of any other, any country.
However, except Tajikistan, which is standing with the people of Afghanistan based on one demand, exactly what I just told you, election.
people to be able to decide.
The other countries, they are not being very clear.
Not Pakistan, not Iran.
Their policy is not only clear in terms of a legitimate government in Afghanistan, but actually very vague.
and engaging with Taliban, giving, for example, Iran gave Afghanistan embassy to the Taliban, Afghanistan consulate to the Taliban.
