TEHRAN -- Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi said Monday the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan must be considered a watershed moment by all political groups in the war-torn country.
“The contemporary history shows that since Americans started to interfere in this country’s affairs, Afghanistan has not seen a good day. We believe that various Afghan groups must consider the US withdrawal a turning point and come up with a governance model in cooperation with each other, which would be accepted by the general public,” he told Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz over phone.
