According to Military Times, the US general declined to provide any details of possible options he has outlined to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on how he could provide needed counterterrorism troops or capabilities if special operations forces are not physically in Afghanistan.

The Spec Ops General declined to provide further details on the possible option he has outlined to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for providing required counterterrorism troops and capabilities, in case U.S special forces are not physically available in Afghanistan.

According to Clarke, United States will always provide options to fight and defeat al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.

Despite Clarke’s previous visit to Afghanistan and efforts for peace violence in the country has escalated.

This comes as Taliban warned against Biden’s withdrawal remarks that delay in American forces presence in Afghanistan will violate the US-Taliban deal.

Those who will violate the deal will be responsible for continuation and escalation of violence, the statement added.

Taliban called on the US that they are committed to the US-Taliban deal and no time should be wasted in grabbing this historic opportunity being disturbed due to incitement by warmongering circles and flawed advice.

According to the statement if the deal is violated the group will continue its "jihad and fight" against the US to liberate the country.
