Mohammad Hakim Torsan: Iran, the Taliban, and Regional Dynamics – A Look at Afghanistan and Global Developments
Mohammad Hakim Torsan, a prominent political analyst, recently shared his insights in a video discussion on the current situation in Afghanistan, the wider region, and the world, offering thought-provoking perspectives.
Torsan highlighted Iran’s support for the Taliban, stressing that Tehran’s involvement not only impacts Afghanistan’s internal politics but also shapes broader regional dynamics. According to him, Iran has pursued a multi-layered strategy in recent years to maintain its influence in Afghanistan.
He further underlined Iran’s role in key regional files such as Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, noting that Tehran’s policies in the Middle East are largely aimed at counterbalancing the United States and its allies.
Addressing domestic issues, Torsan spoke about internet shutdowns in Afghanistan, warning that such measures directly affect ordinary citizens and restrict freedom of expression.
He also discussed reports regarding the U.S. reclaiming Bagram Air Base, describing it as a sign of Washington’s ongoing geopolitical interests in Afghanistan. In his view, renewed American presence in this strategic hub could have significant consequences for Afghanistan’s future and the wider region.
Concluding his remarks, the political analyst emphasized that Afghanistan now stands at a critical juncture. On one side, the country struggles with deep internal crises, and on the other, it faces external power rivalries. He warned that unless national interests and the well-being of the Afghan people are prioritized, Afghanistan risks once again becoming a battlefield for foreign agendas.
