Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Sayed Rasool Mousavi, Assistant Minister and Director General of South Asia of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran wrote in a tweet about the recent border conflict between Iran and Afghanistan: Let's be alert! What is happening today at the border of Zabul, Nimroz, is the continuation of the colonialists' conspiracy.
He added: If in 1872 Goldsmith brought Sistan Abad to its current state with his conspiracy, today his heirs want to destroy Iran and Afghanistan.
Mousavi emphasized that the people and elites of both countries should be smart, because any kind of conflict is to the strategic disadvantage of both sides.
Meanwhile, according to reports, a military clash took place between the forces of the Islamic Emirate and the Iranian border guards in "Makki" area of Kong district of Nimroz province at around 12 noon yesterday.
Abdul Nafee Takour, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior of the Islamic Emirate, said in a tweet: "Today, in Nimroz province, Iranian border forces fired at Afghanistan, which was met with a counter-reaction."
The spokesman of the Ministry of Interior added that the issue has been brought to the elders of both sides and now the situation is under control. He emphasized that the Islamic Emirate does not want to fight with its neighbors.

According to the media, after the start of the conflicts, correspondence and contacts are established between the Iranian embassy in Afghanistan and the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Emirate. Accordingly, after the end of the conflicts, the two sides are investigating the cause of this tension.
