On the morning of May 14, an armed clash occurred between Taliban border guards and Iran, resulting in the death of an Iranian border guard.
The agency “Kholvash,” citing local sources, reported that the incident took place in the Hirmand district on the Afghan-Iranian border.
According to the source, Iranian border guards began firing at a group of smugglers transporting drugs and killed one of them. In response, Taliban forces opened fire on the Iranian border post.
Several days ago, a video of the shootout between Afghan and Iranian border guards circulated on social media.
However, Iranian media provided a different explanation for the shootout. The agency “Fars” reported that the armed clash occurred between Iranian border guards and Afghan smugglers near the “Nimruz” border crossing, and no one was killed.
No official comment from the Taliban has been received yet.
