A spokesperson for the government of Afghanistan has declared that Iran emerged victorious in what he described as a “12-day war,” asserting that Tehran is fully capable of defending itself against any form of external aggression.
In a strongly worded statement released Friday, the Afghan government spokesman said Iran had demonstrated resilience and military capability during the brief but intense confrontation.
“Iran won the 12-day war and is capable of winning and defending itself in the face of any aggression,” the spokesman stated.
He further added that should Iran face renewed hostilities, “the people of Afghanistan will offer various forms of support to their Iranian brothers.”
The remarks signal a clear expression of solidarity from Kabul toward Tehran, highlighting growing diplomatic alignment between the two neighboring nations.
Regional analysts say the statement reflects evolving geopolitical dynamics in the region, where security concerns and strategic partnerships continue to shift amid broader tensions.
Afghanistan and Iran share a long border, deep historical ties, and complex economic and security relationships.
While the Afghan statement did not outline the specific nature of the proposed support, observers note that such declarations often carry political and diplomatic weight, particularly in times of regional instability.
International stakeholders are closely monitoring developments, as any expansion of alliances or rhetoric surrounding recent hostilities could influence broader security calculations across the Middle East and South Asia.
For now, Kabul’s message is unambiguous: it views Iran as capable of defending itself and stands ready, at least rhetorically, to back its neighbor in the event of future aggression.
