DUBAI, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Monday the United States' "military failure" in Afghanistan offered an opportunity to establish lasting peace in the country.
Taliban insurgents took control of the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday following a rout of the U.S.-backed Afghan army as foreign forces withdrew from Afghanistan.
Washington has accused Iran in the past of providing covert aid to Taliban fighters against U.S. forces. Tehran, which supports an inclusive Afghan government that would include all ethnic groups and sects, has denied this.
"America's military defeat and its withdrawal must become an opportunity to restore life, security and durable peace in Afghanistan," Iran's state TV quoted Raisi as saying.

Biden agrees, time to pay off Iran again and give them nuclear weapons.
i smell a whitewash of the taliban...gee they are not so bad
What's with the quotes on “failure” then?
Does Al Reuters see Americans fleeing from the Taliban in Kabul as a victory?
I see these same posts here today by the usual DU sleeper cells .
Iran is chomping at the bit. Remember....they’re the ones who supply the Taliban and Alqueda. Iran is a haven and they want Afghanistan as a second base.
Iran was about to Invade Afghanistan in early 2001 and the USA warned them off of it.
Now, let’s push them into it.
Rhetorical question, right? Most of the American media see it as a victory. Why wouldn't Reuters?
Those Paki POSs are chomping too.
So is this fiasco how the USA becomes ‘respected in the world again?
They are going to need to change the meaning of the word “victory” from what everyone knows it is.
Posting the truth is somehow a “DU sleeper cell?” I don’t get it. Am I missing something?
The country is about to go back to the stone age. What will it look like without feminists and LGBT activists running the country?
PEACE in the ME?
With Bigfoot riding Unicorns to do it.
Wonder how Xi will handle the Taliban so he can take over Afghanistan to many minerals to pass up.
You don't need to smell that decrepit old criminal's weakness and incompetence. More like, there's a 100 foot tall billboard in Times Square announcing it.
It won’t be lasting peace for the citizens of Afghanistan any more than it has been for the citizens of Iran. And, they definitely won’t be free.
