INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Iran&s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that the country&s Helmand River water rights treaty with Afghanistan is not being
fully implemented.&We have a treaty with Afghanistan on the issue of the Helmand River that is not being implemented fully,& Araghchi told
reporters.This comes as the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly said that it is committed to the water treaty with Iran, but Afghanistan itself
is struggling with drought.Experts say that the Iranian side should consider the drought situation in the region and the conditions of the
rivers.&Environmental changes, drought, and water shortages have occurred in the region
The Islamic Republic of Iran should take this into account
They should examine this issue with careful assessments
Continuing with such excuses, for whatever political purpose, can disrupt political relations, friendship, and good relations between the
two neighboring countries,& said Najib Rahman Shamal, an expert on international affairs.Araqhchi&s remarks contradict Iran&s acting
ambassador in Kabul Ali Reza Bekdeli who said earlier this month that the issue of water rights between the two countries had been
resolved. The post Iran&s FM says water treaty with Afghanistan not being fully implemented first appeared on Ariana News.
