“In meeting with Mr. Hamdollah Mohib, Afghanistan’s National Security Advisor, the following points were emphasized: 1. The necessity for the US withdrawal from region 2. Afghanistan’s special position for Iran 3. The need for the creation of necessary infrastructures to develop bilateral ties 4. Iran’s firm support for Afghanistan’s legal government 5. The necessity for cooperation to annihilate the ISIL,” he wrote on his twitter page.

Earlier reports of the meeting between the two high-ranking officials said that Shamkhani has also stressed his country’s firm resolve to take harsh revenge for the US assassination of former IRGC Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

“The US has intensified its measures to foment insecurity in West Asia region in the past year and the climax of this behavior was the cowardly assassination of anti-terrorism commanders General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis,” Shamkhani said in a meeting with Mohib.
