Iran, Taliban Hold Talks With Afghanistan's Knowledge

A delegation of Taliban representatives visited Tehran on Sunday and held wide-ranging talks with Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. 
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi made the announcement at a press conference on Monday, describing the talks as “important”.
“Given that 50% of Afghan territories are overrun by the Taliban and in view of the insecurity and instability in the country, the talks were held with the knowledge of Afghanistan’s government,” he said.
