Qomi: Destabilization of Afghanistan is America’s priority

Published

Hassan Kazemi Qomi, ambassador and special representative of the Iranian president in Afghanistan, said on Tuesday in an interview with the Iranian media, IRNA, that the Americans, despite their disgraceful defeat, continue to commit insecurity in Afghanistan and support terrorism, especially Daesh.

IRNA quoted Qomi as saying the instability and insecurity of Afghanistan is still America’s priority and they follow this policy for various reasons.

Iran’s ambassador in Kabul said: “Despite their disgraceful defeat in Afghanistan, the Americans have not abandoned the region and Afghanistan. America’s goals still exist, but they have changed their operational strategies. At that time, they thought that they could achieve their goals with militarization and military campaigns … but after failing in this way, they turned to other ways.”

Qomi added: “We have reached an agreement to interact with Kabul to help improve the conditions of Afghanistan.”

He also said: “Fortunately, we have reached a positive approach in consultations with important players in the region, including Pakistan, we emphasized regional cooperation in interaction with Kabul, and it was agreed that this approach should be prioritized, and that’s why the basis of the Regional Contact Group was formed, which was agreed in the framework of the Kazan meeting and the members of the Moscow format.
“It was decided to pursue regional cooperation with the rulers of Afghanistan.”

Qomi added that the representatives of the regional contact group should define and follow a cooperation package with Afghanistan in the economic, security and political fields.

Qomi considered the spread of terrorism in the region, including the phenomenon of Daesh, as a result of America’s proxy war and American-Zionist plans, and emphasized that neighboring countries should be vigilant in order to form comprehensive cooperation, including security, with Afghanistan.

He has stated that: “Terrorism knows no borders, therefore countering terrorism must be done collectively.”

He added: “Supporting the people of Afghanistan is still the political criterion of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” This support is established in all dimensions of bilateral cooperation and Iran’s deep understanding of the conditions of the Afghan people, and we encourage the region to converge, and the United Nations is also expected to support this process, he said.

He stated that Iran supports the constructive role of the United Nations. “Considering that the neighbors are most affected by the developments in Afghanistan, the United Nations should support regional initiatives and cooperation, and if this support is provided, it can help improve the mission of the United Nations Security Council to establish global peace and security,” he said.

The US has not yet responded to these claims.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Afghanistan has taken “active and effective” steps to curb drug trafficking, noting a significant drop in opium production across the country. He made the remarks during an exclusive interview with India Today during his India trip, highlighting what he described as “visible progress” in Afghanistan’s internal security efforts.

Putin stated that Afghan authorities have “substantially reduced” opium cultivation and are “seriously confronting” drug-related threats from within their borders. He added that Afghanistan has also made important advancements in the fight against terrorism.

Responding to a question about why Russia officially recognized the Islamic Emirate, the Russian president said Afghanistan had been engulfed in civil conflict for many years, but the current authorities now hold control over the country. “This is the reality, and it must be acknowledged,” Putin emphasized.

He further noted that maintaining contact with Afghanistan’s leadership is crucial for shaping events inside the country. “If you want influence, you must engage with the people in charge — and that is exactly what we are doing,” he said.

Putin’s remarks come as several regional powers continue to recalibrate their diplomatic strategies toward Afghanistan, focusing on stability, counterterrorism, and economic cooperation.
