"Zabihullah Mojahid": Iranian officials! Use appropriate words, such statements should not be repeated

In response to Ebrahim Raisi's warning, Zabihullah Mojahid said: "Iranian officials! Use appropriate words, such statements should not be repeated."

During his visit to Sistan and Baluchistan on Thursday, May 18, Ebrahim Raisi addressed the rulers of Afghanistan, saying: "Take the issue of Helmand water and Iran's rights seriously and give the rights of the people of Sistan and Baluchistan faster."

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also announced in this regard: "Our clear request from Afghanistan is to open the gates of the Kajaki Dam as soon as possible so that both the people of Afghanistan and the people of Iran can be irrigated."

The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban) also issued a statement in response to Ibrahim Raisi's warning regarding Helmand rights, saying: "Such statements should not be repeated." The Taliban also stated in response to Raisi's threats regarding Helmand rights: "Iranian authorities must first complete their information about Helmand water. Otherwise, the political atmosphere between the two Muslim nations will be damaged."

The full text of the statement can be seen below.

Taliban officials also announced in the statement that due to the low amount of water in the Kajaki Dam, even if we open the dam's gates, water will still not reach Iran.

The Taliban government also mocked Ibrahim Raisi's warning and, holding a small container of water, declared to Raisi: "Don't attack us, we are afraid, we will bring you water."

In an agreement signed between Iran and Afghanistan in 1972, Afghanistan was obligated to provide Iran with 850 million cubic meters of water from the Helmand River annually; however, Afghanistan's lack of commitment to this agreement in recent decades has created a serious challenge between the two countries.

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has destroyed the authority and culture of Iran for 43 years to the point that it has made the country a laughing stock for governments like the Taliban, not only questioning the authorities' information, but also issuing serious warnings about using inappropriate language towards Taliban officials.
