TEHRAN – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said Sunday the Taliban should take responsibility for the security of the citizens and intensify measures to protect Afghans, especially the vulnerable ethnic and religious groups after a terrorist attack on a gathering of people in Herat killed five people.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is confident that our Muslim brothers and sisters in Afghanistan will thwart the divisive conspiracies of their enemies with empathy, solidarity, and joint efforts,” Khatibzadeh added.
