Taliban & Pakistani Border Guards Collaborate With Jundallh Militant Group

Yaqub Rezazadeh, a member of the Iranian Parliament, accused Pakistani border guards and the Afghan Taliban of collaborating with Jundallah, a militant group in Iran.

Rezazadeh said, "Taliban and Pakistan forces are not only weak in securing their borders, but also sometimes they collaborate with Jundallah."

In an interview with the Iranian media outlet, Hayat News Agency, this Iranian official stated, "Iran shares approximately 2000 kilometres of border with Afghanistan and Pakistan, yet both countries lack the necessary control over the security of their borders with our country."

He said that the Iranian border forces bear sole responsibility for securing the eastern borders of Iran with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Rezazadeh highlighted that the collaboration between the Taliban and Pakistani border forces with Jundallah facilitates the infiltration of this group into Iranian territory.

According to him, while efforts are underway to thwart Jundallah's infiltration into Iran, several members of the Iranian security forces have been killaed in recent attacks.

As of now, officials in Islamabad and the Taliban in Afghanistan have not responded to the remarks made by this Iranian official.
