Fazl Mohammad Haqqani, Taliban’s representative in Tehran, participated in a meeting hosted by Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with the ambassadors of the Islamic countries in Iran.

The website of the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran has published pictures from this meeting that took place on Thursday.

As per the report, Khamenei spoke about the situation in Gaza and Israel's policy in this meeting.

Addressing the ambassadors, Khamenei said, "Governments are responsible for ceasing political and propaganda aid, as well as weapons and consumer goods to the Zionist regime; this is their responsibility. It is the duty of the nations to exert pressure on their respective governments to fulfil this significant obligation.”

Taliban participated in this meeting while earlier, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, the Special Representative of Iran for Afghanistan, called Taliban as part of the "Axis of Resistance" in the region.

Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran's Special Representative for Afghanistan, had stated in an interview with a state-controlled Iranian media outlet that, if necessary, “more than one army of suicide bombers will be deployed from Afghanistan to support Gaza”.

The Taliban officials did not officially respond to this statement of the Iranian diplomat, however, Al-Mirsaad, a media outlet affiliated with group’s intelligence wrote that Iran should direct Hezbollah of Lebanon to engage in war or themselves should take direct action against Israel.
