阿富汗塔利班和伊朗星期六在两国边境地区激烈交火,造成双方军人伤亡,两国因水源权利争议造成的紧张正在急剧升温。

伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社报道,伊朗警察部队副指挥官雷扎伊(Qassem Rezaei)指责塔利班星期六(5月27日)上午在伊朗锡斯坦和俾路支斯坦省同阿富汗尼姆鲁兹省之间的边境地区首先开枪,并说伊朗造成了“沉重伤亡和严重损失。”

阿富汗内政部发言人指责伊朗首先开枪,并说枪击造成双方两人死亡,并有人受伤,局势目前得到控制。

伊斯兰共和国通讯社说,两名边境警卫被打死,但死亡人数可能更高。《德黑兰时报》说,战斗导致三名伊朗边境警卫被打死,通往阿富汗的陆路边境口岸也因此关闭。

阿富汗国防部发言人在声明中说,“阿富汗伊斯兰酋长国认为对话是解决任何问题的合理方式,”“制造战争借口和负面行动不符合任何一方的利益。”

当地权益组织HalVash张贴的在线视频显示,伊朗部队在边境地区发射一门迫击炮,塔利班部队则用美国制造的机关枪向伊朗边境哨所射击,其他塔利班战斗人员驾驶可能由北约部队留下来的装甲车。

伊朗誓言不会对塔利班的攻击置之不理。

伊朗警察部队指挥官拉丹(Ahmadreza Radan)对伊斯兰共和国通讯社说,“伊朗伊斯兰共和国边防部队会对任何边境的擅自进入和侵略做出果断回应,阿富汗当局必须对他们无节制和违背国际原则的行动负责。”

伊朗总统莱希本月早些时候警告塔利班不要触犯伊朗对赫尔曼德河的水源权利。

伊朗过去30年面临干旱,过去10年进一步恶化。伊朗有关方面说,估计全国有97%的地区目前面临某种程度的干旱。

塔利班代理外长穆塔基星期六早些时候会见了伊朗驻阿富汗代表,讨论赫尔曼德河的水源权利。伊斯兰共和国通讯社说,“两国之间的议题最好通过对话解决。”

但紧张一直在加剧。近日网上张贴的另一个视频据称显示伊朗部队和塔利班之间的对峙,伊朗建筑工人当时正试图加强两国之间的边境。



The Taliban and Iran exchanged heavy gunfire Saturday on the Islamic Republic's border with Afghanistan, killing and wounding troops while sharply escalating rising tensions between the two countries amid a dispute over water rights.

Iran's state-run IRNA news agency quoted the country's deputy police chief, Gen. Qassem Rezaei, accusing the Taliban of opening fire first Saturday morning on the border of Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province and the Afghan province of Nimroz. IRNA said Iran inflicted "heavy casualties and serious damage."

From the Taliban's view, Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafi Takor accused Iran of shooting first. Takor said the firefight killed two people, one from each country, and wounded others. He described the situation as now being under control.

IRNA, quoting Iranian police, said two border guards had been killed. However, that number may be higher. The semiofficial, English-language newspaper Tehran Times said the fighting killed three Iranian border guards. IRNA said the Milak border crossing with Afghanistan, a major trade route, was closed until further notice over the gunfight.

"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan considers dialogue to be a reasonable way for any problem," Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Enayatullah Khawarazmi said in a statement. "Making excuses for war and negative actions is not in the interest of any of the parties."

The advocacy group HalVash, which reports on issues affecting the Baluch people in the predominately Sunni province of Sistan and Baluchestan, quoted residents in the area saying the fighting took place near the Kang district of Nimroz. It said some people in the area had fled the violence.

Videos posted online, purportedly from the area, included the crackle of machine gun fire in the distance. HalVash later posted an image of what appeared to be the remains of a mortar round, saying that "heavy weapons and mortars are being used."

Later videos from HalVash purported to show Iranian forces firing a mortar, as well as Taliban troops firing American-made machine guns at an Iranian border post. Other Taliban fighters drove armored vehicles likely left behind by NATO forces.

Iran vowed not let the Taliban attack stand.

"The border forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will decisively respond to any border trespassing and aggression, and the current authorities of Afghanistan must be held accountable for their unmeasured and contrary actions to international principles," IRNA quoted Iran's police chief, Gen. Ahmadreza Radan, as saying.

The clash comes as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi earlier this month warned the Taliban not to violate Iran's water rights to the Helmand River. Raisi's remarks represented some of the strongest yet over the long-running concerns about water in Iran.

Drought has been a problem in Iran for some 30 years, but has worsened over the past decade, according to the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization. The Iran Meteorological Organization says that an estimated 97% of the country now faces some level of drought.

The Taliban seized Afghanistan in August of 2021 as U.S. and NATO troops were in the final weeks of their pullout from the country after 20 years of war. In the time since, Afghanistan has become the most repressive in the world for women and girls, depriving them of virtually all their basic rights, according to the U.N. Hunger remains endemic.

While not directly accepting the Taliban government, Iran has maintained relations with Afghanistan's new rulers. Tehran also has called on the Taliban to allow women and girls to go to school.

Earlier on Saturday, the Taliban's Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met with an Iranian envoy to Afghanistan to discuss the Helmand River water rights, according to tweets from Afghan Foreign Ministry official Zia Ahmad. IRNA acknowledged the meeting, saying "that issues between the two countries will be better resolved through dialogue."

But tensions have otherwise been rising. Another video posted online in recent days purportedly showed a standoff with Iranian forces and the Taliban as Iranian construction workers tried to reinforce the border between the two countries.

In recent days, pro-Taliban accounts online also have been sharing a video with a song calling on the acting defense minister, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, to stand up to Iran. Mullah Yaqoob is the son of Mullah Mohammad Omar, the Taliban's late founder and first supreme leader.

"We are a government, we have power," the song goes. "Our leader Mullah Yaqoob will stand against Iran or we are not the republic's government. We are not slaves, our leader Mullah Yaqoob will stand against Iran."
