In response to a recent report by US intelligence agencies saying that Iran offered bounties to Taliban fighters to target American and coalition troops in Afghanistan, the Afghan government on Tuesday warned Afghanistan’s neighboring and regional countries against using the Taliban as a proxy in Afghanistan.
 
Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said that the regional countries should not support the Taliban.
 
However, the Iranian embassy in Kabul has rejected the report, saying Iran doesn’t want its differences with the US to be brought inside Afghanistan.
 
“The Taliban is also accused of having support from other groups and networks, one of the important items of the peace process and the demand of the international community is that the Taliban are no longer used as a proxy group and no country in the region should support the Taliban,” said Sediqqi.
 
The Iranian embassy in Kabul has said that the US by levelling such allegations is trying to justify its failure in the peace process with the Taliban.
