Referring to the Iran-Afghanistan border conflict, Sayed Rasool Mousavi, the assistant minister of foreign affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, considered it a continuation of the colonialists' conspiracy.

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.

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.
