IEA dismisses Trump’s threat to reclaim Bagram base, says its a ‘dream’
However, the IEA spokesman claimed: “Despite the current tense atmosphere, we have diplomatic relations with 40 countries.”

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has dismissed US President Donald Trump’s statements about retaking control of Bagram base and US weapons left behind during the 2021 withdrawal, and said this was a “dream”.
Mujahid also rejected Trump’s claims that Bagram is managed by China, and said Monday night: “This base is in the hands of the Islamic Emirate forces.”
He said: “Afghanistan is independent and we will not place our territory in the hands of any country. Bagram is in the hands of our own forces, not China.”
Trump recently said Bagram base was under China’s control.
“Taking Bagram is a dream; America should also get rid of this idea, and so should the fugitives of the previous regime,” he said.
On the issue of reclaiming weapons left behind by the US, Mujahid said: “These weapons were taken as spoils and we will use them to defend independence and the Islamic system.”
He warned the United States and said: “We are not the (former) Ashraf Ghani administration that will do whatever you order.”
Mujahid claimed that Western interference in Afghan affairs is increasing day by day and said: “They cannot reach us, but they are spreading propaganda. It is not easy for them to forget their defeat.”
He went on to say that Trump’s statements were election-related and that “Trump has now returned to power and is gradually getting the point.”
In response to a question about the Islamic Emirate not yet recognized as the official government, after three and a half years, Mujahid said: “We are not to blame for the current impasse.”
He explained that foreign relations are a bilateral issue and that unilateral efforts to improve relations without the other party’s consent will not work.
He stated that countries cannot independently establish relations without the US’s guidance. He claimed that the Security Council and the United Nations are all under US influence.
However, the IEA spokesman claimed: “Despite the current tense atmosphere, we have diplomatic relations with 40 countries.”
Mujahid also reacted to reports that former republic government leaders in Turkey had met with representatives of Pakistan’s intelligence agency.
Zabihullah Mujahid stated that intelligence information showed that some former leaders in Turkey had met with representatives of the ISI.
He said that “these figures, who for 20 years accused the Taliban of being dependent on Punjab, are now committing themselves to the ISI.”
He continued that these individuals could not achieve anything with the support of Western intelligence; now they think that they can return with the support of the ISI. He reiterated that “this is a dream and a fantasy.”
In response to reports of increasing concerns, he stressed: “There is unparalleled security in Afghanistan. Security forces suppress, arrest, and in some cases kill the slightest opposition movement.” Referring to reports of tense conditions in the country, especially in the capital, he called on the forces of the Islamic Emirate not to be “confused” and not to become “victims” of media propaganda.

UN Security Council to hold meeting on Daesh threats from Afghanistan and region

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has announced it will hold a special meeting on Monday this week to discuss the threats posed by Daesh from Afghanistan and the region.
In this meeting, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s report will be reviewed, focusing on the threats emanating from Daesh. The report emphasizes that ISIS-Khorasan is a threat both within and outside Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stated that Daesh in Afghanistan has been severely suppressed and cannot pose a threat to the countries of the region or the world from Afghan soil.
"Daesh is not a threat in Afghanistan, nor does it have any strength. It has been suppressed, and it is no longer considered a threat from Afghanistan,” said Mujahid.
Some experts believe that eliminating Daesh threats in the region and the world requires joint efforts, and all countries must cooperate in this regard.

Trump says it was ‘stupid’ for Biden administration to abandon arms in Afghanistan

US President Donald Trump said on Friday it was "stupid" for the Biden administration to abandon military equipment worth billions of dollars in Afghanistan.
Trump said at a joint press conference with the Japanese prime minister at the White House on Friday that there was no reason to leave military equipment in Afghanistan.
“I want our military to be the strongest. I also don’t mind spending so much money on the military because we build it here, made in the USA. All made in the USA. I rebuilt our military during my first term, did a great job. We left some of it behind in Afghanistan stupidly. There was no reason for that,” Trump said.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the abandonment of military equipment in Afghanistan.
Trump said before his inauguration last month that future financial aid to Afghanistan would be contingent upon the return of US military equipment.
The Islamic Emirate, however, has said the equipment now belongs to Afghanistan and would not be handed over to the US.

US Defense Secretary pledges accountability over Afghan war failures

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday promised that there would be accountability for war in Afghanistan, which ended dramatically in 2021 with a chaotic withdrawal after a faster-than-expected collapse of the US-backed government in Kabul.
"We are going to look back at what happened in Afghanistan and hold people accountable -- not to be retrospective, not for retribution, but to understand what went wrong and why there was no accountability for it," Hegseth said addressing an audience at the Pentagon.
He pointed the failed war in Afghanistan, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 as events that have eroded the global view of American strength. That, he said, increases risks to global stability.
"Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, we've seen events that have occurred that created the perception, reality or perception, but I would argue more perception, of American weakness," Hegseth said.
"Chaos happens when the perception of American strength is not complete. And so we aim to reestablish that deterrence."
Hegseth said he would travel next week to a NATO gathering of defense ministers in Brussels to deliver a message for them to "step up in their industrial base, in spending."
