Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Minister of Interior of the Islamic Republic of Iran has said yesterday, Wednesday, May 31, on the sidelines of the meeting of the government of this country that the situation in the country's borders is completely calm and there are no problems.
Regarding the recent border tension between Afghanistan and Iran in Nimroz Province, he said: "Due to the mistake that the Afghan border guards had made and shot, clashes took place and we had martyrs and people were killed on the Afghan side. Therefore, with the precision and tact of the Islamic Republic and the precision and timely arrival of the Taliban and the central government of Kabul, the issue was resolved and we now have no problems at the border.
Meanwhile, a security official from the 207 Al-Farooq Army Corps in Herat told the local media "Herat Times" that the movement of a part of the Islamic Emirate's forces towards the border of Qala Islam was a military exercise and was not an important issue.
He, who did not want to be named, emphasized that the news and rumors of the media about the possibility of a conflict on the border of Islam Qala are baseless and the movement of the troops is due to the stabilization of the presence in all parts of Herat and the first major military maneuver in the areas of Islam Qala.
On the other hand, the customs officials of Islam Qala Herat have also emphasized several times that the work flow in Islam Qala Port is normal and there is nothing going on.
On the other hand, Maulavi Nisar Ahmad Elias, the spokesperson of Herat governor, told Ava reporter about these rumors: "Currently, there is nothing special (on the border), if there is any information that is cause for concern, we will post a video and inform the people."
Yesterday, the sources announced that, contrary to what the biased media published baseless reports about the border of Islam Qala, the situation in this border is calm and business is going on as before.
It should be mentioned that since yesterday, a number of media have spread rumors about tension and possible conflict on the border of Islam Qala.
