Iran Calls For Trilateral Military Operations Inside Afghanistan, Pakistan
TOLO News ^ | 14 April 2015 | ariq Majidi

Iranian Interior Minister Abdul Reza Rahimi Fazli on Tuesday proposed launching a trilateral counter-insurgency operation inside Afghanistan and Pakistan territories in order to halt the expansion of Daesh, which has increasingly collaborated with other insurgent groups in the region to wage a campaign of indiscriminate violence that threatens stability in all three nations.

The Iranian official's proposal comes just a few days after a terrorist group known as Jaishuladl killed eight Iranian border police in the region between Iran and Pakistan.

"Tehran doesn't face a critical security threat right now, and the recent events inside Iranian territory happened because of the lack of preemptive measures in neighboring countries,"

Minister Fazli said on Tuesday. "But Iran wants a joint military operation against the insurgents to be conducted inside the Afghan and Pakistani territories."

The Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) responded to Fazli on Tuesday, saying the possibility of a joint operation supported by Iran would be taken under consideration by national security leaders. However, the MoFA officials also made a point of reiterating faith in the abilities of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to handle insurgent and terrorist threats on their own.

"The Afghan security forces are fully prepared to combat the terrorist groups, but the National Security Council and security officials can decide whether to conduct a joint trilateral military operation," MoFA spokesman Ahmad Shekib Mustaghna said.

Oh that's a perfect way of saying it! He's certainly inflating the conflicts one after another abroad and here at home.

Must admit it's disturbing though seeing Iran and other ME Nations ‘uniting’ their armies....they are sure testing their capabilities in all areas of warfare. ..and more than quite emboldened to do so.....Added to this all the military equipment, hardware and training we've given them.........wouldn't take much of a push for them to push further beyond their own conflicts.
