Tensions between the Taliban and Iran escalated on Saturday as heavy gunfire was exchanged on their shared border. The Taliban is accused of initiating the attack, while Iran claims it was fired upon first. Iran’s deputy police chief, Gen. Qassem Rezaei, stated that the Taliban opened fire, resulting in significant casualties and damage. Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafi Takor argued that Iran initiated the shooting. The situation is now reportedly under control.

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported heavy casualties, with two Iranian border guards confirmed dead. However, the actual number of casualties may be higher. The Tehran Times stated that three Iranian border guards lost their lives. The gunfight prompted the closure of the Milak border crossing, a major trade route, until further notice.

The clash occurred amid a dispute over water rights, with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warning the Taliban against violating Iran’s rights to the Helmand River. Iran has been grappling with severe drought, affecting 97% of the country according to the Iran Meteorological Organization. The Taliban’s treatment of women and girls has drawn international criticism, leading Iran to advocate for their rights, including access to education.

Tensions have been rising between Iran and the Taliban, as evidenced by recent videos showing a standoff between Iranian forces and the Taliban during border reinforcement efforts. Pro-Taliban accounts shared a video urging the acting defense minister, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, to confront Iran and stand against aggression.

In response to the border clash, Iran’s police chief, Gen. Ahmadreza Radan, pledged a decisive response to any border trespassing and aggression. He held the current authorities of Afghanistan accountable for their actions. Both countries expressed a preference for resolving the issues through dialogue. Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Enayatullah Khawarazmi emphasized the importance of dialogue and de-escalation.
