Remarks of Iran Foreign Ministry on Helmand River Treaty
[ToloNews] The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
in unofficial meetings with Iranian officials said they recognize the Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
River Treaty signed between Afghanistan and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in 1973, an official from Iran's foreign ministry has said.

According to the treaty, Afghanistan is committed to sharing the water from the Helmand River with Iran and will supply 26 cubic meters of water per second, or 850 million cubic meters per annum.

Former president Ashraf Ghani

He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance.

had repeatedly said Afghanistan would not give water free of charge to any country, especially to Iran.

Rasoul Mousavi, general director of the Iranian foreign ministry’s west Asia department, said on Thursday in a meeting that the Taliban in their unofficial meetings with Iranian officials have recognized the 1973 treaty.

Mousavi has also said the recent developments in Afghanistan (Taliban) could turn into a strategic threat against Iran’s national interests unless changes happens in the government.

"If the Taliban government with the current thought and format gets established in Afghanistan, it definitely will be a strategic threat against our country’s national interests. There is no doubt about it," he said.

Although the Islamic Emirate has not rejected or confirmed the remarks of the Iranian official, they have sparked reactions among the people and analysts.

Attaullah Afghan, the former head of the Helmand provincial council, said the level of water has lowered in Helmand River, and said that the river’s water flow into Iran should not be allowed.

"Iran’s request for water is not accepted to the Helmand people because they themselves face a water shortage," he said.

"The Iranians want Afghanistan's water to not be managed properly," said Hamid Mujadadi, a university lecturer.

Tariq Farhadi, a political analyst, said Mousavi’s remarks are not valid because Iran has not recognized the Islamic Emirate and they cannot reaffirm such treaties. "Remarks of the Iranian official are completely baseless. When has the Taliban signed it? When they were not in power? So that signature is not valid. If they signed after coming to power, Iran has not recognized their government," he said.

Ghani had said he will give water to the neighboring countries in exchange for oil, but will not give it away for free.
