Why the Taliban is against an evacuation extension for foreign troops

Published

on

The Taliban has rejected any calls to extend the US evacuation deadline beyond August 31 as operations at Kabul’s major airport accelerate to record pace

This follows the head of the CIA meeting with the militant group’s leader in secret on Monday, marking the highest contact between the two parties since Kabul fell.

Several countries are pushing the United States to have the deadline extended, including the UK and France, who are both in favour of a continuing military presence.

The Taliban’s spokesperson has also urged all Afghan nationals to avoid crowding the airport’s boundaries and return home.

The spokesperson says these Afghans will not face punishment from the country’s new rulers

“The road which goes to the airport is blocked. Afghans cannot take that road to go to the airport, but foreign nationals are allowed to”

“We are not allowing the evacuation of Afghans anymore and we are not happy with it either”.

Many of the people reported to be fleeing are educated people, and particularly women… as women were forbidden to work or attend universities or schools under the Taliban’s previous rule.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says G7 member nations have met and they are pushing the Taliban to allow safe passage for those who want to leave Afghanistan.

The White House says the President briefed the G7 member nations and assured leaders that the deadline will be met.

Israel seeks to damage Iran’s Fordow facility before halting operations; Trump suggests US knows Khamenei’s location, avoids assassination.

In Short:
Israel aims to damage Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and is seeking US assistance, despite uncertainty about American military involvement. Tensions rise as President Trump holds national security meetings, contemplating military options against Iran.

Israel plans to continue its operations against Iran until the Fordow nuclear facility is significantly damaged. The facility, located underground near Qom, is crucial for uranium enrichment.

Israel acknowledges that its own military capabilities cannot reach the depths of Fordow, but it is relying on the United States for support.

Israel’s National Security Advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, indicated ongoing discussions with US officials but expressed uncertainty regarding US involvement in military actions.

Iran’s nuclear weapon

Many in Israel and the West suspect that Fordow is part of Iran’s nuclear weapon development, a claim that Iran denies.

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early due to this ongoing conflict and convened a national security meeting at the White House.

The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, included key security figures such as CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Reports suggest that Trump is considering the use of a “bunker buster” bomb against Fordow.
