After Iran’s proposal to mediate and hold a regional meeting aimed at resolving tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, political experts have assessed this initiative as logical. They believe that the presence of regional powers such as Iran and Russia can provide the necessary support and guarantees for the implementation of the commitments of the parties. The meeting also creates an opportunity for Afghanistan to raise its concerns and reasons regarding security and border issues in the presence of other regional actors.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: After the failure of the talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Turkey and the increase in ambiguities in the relations between the two countries, Iran and Russia have separately announced their readiness for mediation. In addition, yesterday, Amir Khan Muttaki, Foreign Minister of Afghanistan, and Seyyed Abbas Araqchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, discussed the latest status of bilateral relations and recent tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan in a telephone call. In this conversation, the Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized the need to strengthen consultations to establish peace and stability in the region.
Regional countries are aware of US intelligence games
Political analysts have expressed concern about the continued tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan and emphasize that US intelligence games aimed at creating insecurity in the region require a joint meeting and comprehensive decision-making.
Political analyst Wais Nasseri stated in an interview with Ava: “Iran’s efforts to resolve the Kabul-Islamabad conflict are not a new issue. High-level delegations from Iran and China were also present at the first negotiations between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Qatar and were among the parties that signed the agreement.”
According to Nasseri, “The ongoing tension between Islamabad and Kabul has worried the countries of the region. If these tensions reach an acute stage and lead to a military confrontation again, the countries of the region, including Iran, will face insecurity and social harm. Millions of Afghan refugees now live in Iran, and instability in Afghanistan will certainly create a new wave of legal and illegal migration to Iran.”
He added: “Afghanistan and Pakistan are countries with long borders with Iran, and war, conflict, and political instability can also affect Iran and create many economic problems. Therefore, Iran is trying to mediate between Kabul and Islamabad, dispatch its delegations, and even hold a regional meeting to resolve the crisis.”
The analyst noted: “Iran and Russia are suffering from the increase in tension in Afghanistan, and their security and stability are at risk. Both countries are aware of the sensitivities of the issue and know that this is America’s game in the region, which wants to intensify conflicts and unrest in order to achieve its goals.”
According to Nasseri, “There is no doubt that instability in Afghanistan will cause instability in Iran, Russia, and all countries in the region. The United States is trying to increase conflicts to prevent the expansion of political and economic relations between the countries in the region; but the countries in the region, including Iran, Russia, and China, are aware of these intelligence games of the United States and will not let the United States further inflame the fire of war and insecurity.”
Iran and Russia are potential addresses for resolving tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan
Political affairs expert Mohammad Reza Ahmadi also told Ava: “After the failure of previous negotiations between Kabul and Islamabad in Turkey, Iran and Russia have separately announced their readiness to mediate. Given that both countries share a common border with Afghanistan and have political and security influence in the region, they can be considered as potential addresses for negotiations.”
He added: “Pakistan has officially welcomed Iran’s offer to mediate, but the Afghan side has not yet taken an official and public position on this matter. This silence may be due to various considerations; including the possibility that the Afghan government is examining the political dimensions and consequences of this mediation.”
According to Ahmadi, “Due to the nature of Iran’s and Russia’s relations with the Islamic Emirate and regional complexities, these two countries may not be considered completely neutral by Kabul or Islamabad. Afghanistan may be waiting for more clarification on the conditions and details about how to hold the talks, or may prefer to pursue the talks through other channels.”
Iran’s proposal for a regional meeting
Ahmadi also said: “Iran has called for a regional meeting to resolve tensions. Using this opportunity could be beneficial for Afghanistan, because a regional meeting will increase diplomatic pressure on both sides and prevent further escalation of tensions.”
In his opinion, “the presence of regional powers such as Iran and Russia can provide the necessary support and guarantees for the implementation of commitments. This meeting can also be an opportunity for Afghanistan to raise its concerns and reasons regarding security and border issues in the presence of other regional actors.” He concluded by emphasizing: “Given the current situation and the failure of bilateral negotiations, the entry of regional mediators can be a solution. It is in the interest of both countries to take advantage of diplomatic opportunities to prevent further instability.”
