The US intelligence agency has acknowledged that Iran is not seeking to destabilize Afghanistan where the US he's engaged in an alleged peace process.
The US military intelligence announcement runs counter to previous remarks by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, The National Interest reported.“Iran’s strategic objectives relating to Afghanistan continue to be maintaining a stable Afghan central government and security along Iran’s eastern border,” the Lead Inspector General wrote. “Iran’s objectives also include protecting Shia populations, eliminating [Daesh in Central Asia], opposing the US presence in the region, and securing Iranian economic interests.”
Back in January the US hawkish secretary of state had claimed that Iran is “actively working to undermine the peace process.”
