Iran
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made, and with what conclusions, of Iran's political and military involvement in Afghanistan.
- Answer
-
Iran is pursuing a dangerous dual strategy in Afghanistan. While it assists the country through economic and humanitarian aid and supports the legitimate Afghan government, it also undermines Afghan security by providing finance, weapons and training to the Taliban. Iranian support for the Taliban is totally unacceptable and further undermines international and regional confidence in Iran's intentions.
