Iran Calls Foreign Forces Source of Instability in Region
TEHRAN (FNA)- Foreign forces are undermining the stability and security of Afghanistan as well as the region, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said.
"Presence of alien forces is the root-cause of instability and disputes in the region," the Iranian minister said in a meeting with his Afghan counterpart General Abdul Raheem Wardak on Saturday.
The Afghan nation would attain development through their national will and firm determination, he said.
Most world countries, including Iran, have blamed foreign forces for continued instability in Afghanistan and have called for a complete pullout from the country, which first went under invasion and occupation by the US-led NATO troops in 2001.
Iran has many times urged withdrawal of foreign forces from the region, describing it as the only way to restore peace and tranquility in this part of the world.
