Taliban Deploys Hundreds of Suicide-Bombers in Faceoff With Iran
8th August 2023
The Taliban has deployed hundreds of suicide bombers to Afghanistan’s border with Iran amid an intensifying dispute over water access, Bloomberg reported.
Thousands of Taliban troops, including hundreds trained to blow themselves up, were sent to the border since May, a source told the outlet. Iran and the Taliban have moved toward a conflict over water from Afghanistan’s Helmand River, which Iran relies on.
Afghanistan in 1973 agreed to provide a certain amount of water from the river to Iran, but since the Taliban took over Afghanistan after the Biden administration withdrew in 2021, Iran claims the new regime has reduced the water supply.
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
A Muslim waits there
To try to kill you.
And they don’t much care
If you’re Muslim too.
