[DAWN] Iran's state TV says a delegation of the Taliban

...Arabic for students...
visited Tehran and discussed efforts to bring a negotiated end to Afghanistan's 18-year war.

Wednesday's report said Taliban politburo chief Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar

... group co-founder, deputy political chief, and head of the political office of Taliban in Qatar...

met with Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif. It said they discussed Tehran's readiness to help facilitate intra-Afghan dialogue.

Taliban front man Suhail Shaheen tweeted that the meeting took place on Tuesday.

While rare, these are not the first talks between the Taliban and Iranian officials.

US-Taliban peace talks collapsed in September. In the following weeks, a Taliban delegation travelled to Russia, China, 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 a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Pakistain.

Last Tuesday, the Taliban freed an American and an Australian held hostage since 2016 in exchange for three top Taliban figures. The holy warrior group said the swap could help rekindle peace negotiations.

Khaama Press adds:

Shaheen added that the two sides also discussed the issues of the Afghan refugees based in Iran and Mr. Zarif vowed to resolve the issues of the Afghans living as refugees in Iran.

They would be the 390,000 Afghan refugees who suddenly returned home from Iran thus far this year.
