Iran offered to help the US get rid of the Taliban back in 2001 but then they got put on the axis of evil and pulled out. Point is Iran does not like the Taliban and sees them as pro Saudi. Dont think either gives a shit now.

“But but they have diplomatic tensions over water rights so surely this will become a huge thing and not just a minor, accidental border conflict that is likely already resolved. I am a Chad for only reading headlines and Reddit comments and not doing any research.”

Afghanistan is tribal Pashtun dominated and wahabi Sunni Islam fundamentalist. Iran is Shia. They are fighting over water

They recently had a border clash . It’s not like they’re in ideological alignment.

Yeah I just meant that having just come out of decades of occupation it doesn’t seem at all likely they are going to be launching some sort of invasion of Iran.

It feels weird to me to still be referring to them as “The Taliban” all the time, they’re the government of Afghanistan

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
