Afghanistan has long had a security problem, despite the many who have sought to guarantee its safety. The latest of those revealed themselves this week when Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif offered the Afghan government the help of Afghan Shia militants to fight against Daesh. "In Afghanistan, we are prepared to support [militants] under the leadership of the Afghan government," said Zarif.
Kabul's reaction was not an agreeable one. Foreign Ministry spokesman Graan Hewad told
Anadolu that "the Constitution, national interests and foreign policy of Afghanistan do not permit Afghan citizens, except when under the national flag, to enter regional wars and conflicts in different countries."
