Former Iranian Ambassador: TTP relocation in northern Afghanistan will result in security crisis

Former Iranian Ambassador to Afghanistan, Mohammad Reza Bahrami, has recently said that the Taliban’s plan to relocate Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) members in the northern regions of the country will result in security, social, and cultural crises.

Bahrami said in a tweet on Monday that he believes the Taliban would use the relocation of TTP members to the north as a “bargaining chip” vis-à-vis Central Asian states and China as a capacity to “yield insecurity” in the region.
