Following developments in Afghanistan, Iran "strongly condemned" the Taliban attack on the Banshir Valley, the last stronghold of the armed opposition in Afghanistan, against the movement that declared "complete control" of the country.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatib Zadeh, said during a press conference in Tehran that "the news we are hearing from a disturbing Banshir we condemn last night's attack on this region so badly."

Since the Taliban control of Afghanistan, Tehran has been cautious in its positions and has not criticized the movement.

"The Banshir case must be resolved politically and through mediums, and no one should let things end with fraternity," Zadeh's fiancé added.

Calling for "no more than red lines," the Iranian foreign spokesman said that Tehran was "making every effort to end the suffering of the Afghan people and to form a Government that includes all sides."

He also urged Zadeh's fiancé, "International organizations and States of the region to contribute to peace and stability in Afghanistan."

The Taliban have reportedly declared "complete control" of the Banshire Valley, where resistance has been formed since its control of rule in Afghanistan in mid-August.

Iran's relations with the Taliban were turbulent and Tehran never recognized the Taliban during the first period in which Afghanistan was ruled between 1996 and 2001, when relations between the two sides became tense.

But Iran seems to have been seeking a rapprochement with the Taliban for months.
