Taliban commander Mawlawi Mohammed Ibrahim Hewad on the border in Nimroj has confirmed that one Taliban soldier has been killed and another injured. Meanwhile, Iran’s official news agency Irna has not yet confirmed the death of any Iranian soldier. The Iranian agency has claimed that the fighting was started by Taliban soldiers.

Iranian army shells on the border
Iran claimed that Taliban troops tried to hoist its flag in the Hiramand area. He said that a wall was built to prevent smugglers from entering, which Taliban soldiers mistakenly mistook as a boundary wall when it was not. The news agency reported that Iranian border officials had tried to convince him for the past few months.
In a video being shared on social media, it is seen that the Iranian army is firing shells on the border. A similar incident happened in August 2021 as well. For the first time in front of the world, both sides had termed the clash as a ‘misunderstanding’. No country in the world, including Iran, has yet recognized the Taliban government in Afghanistan. There is a difference of opinion between the two sides on many issues.
