Why 🇮🇷 is bashing Pakistan?
After the demise of the Ashraf Ghani regime, Iran was hopeful that its rapport will be in power in Kabul. The Taliban announced its 33 members cabinet with 2 Tajiks 1 Uzbek and all 30 members were Pashtuns. Taliban cabinet was excluded from the 🇮🇷 back
To understand the landscape and environment of the post-US withdrawal #Afghanistan, CommandEleven has, in addition to its past reports, articles and podcasts, developed guidebooks on the different players in Afghanistan’s terrorist dynamic.
Today, we are honored to begin publishing the first part of a series from @nigroeneveld that digs deep into these groups.
The guidebook on the Taliban that Niels developed, with @commandeleven, is an excellent resource to help unfamiliar students and readers gain knowledge without the work of searching for the information.

Let's understand #ISKP's control of #Afghanistan, based on how they have been able to recruit non-Pashtuns first.
ISKP leadership has recruited #Hazaras, #Uzbeks, #Tajiks, and #Turkmens into their organizational structure, giving them leadership positions.
They have also eroded #Taliban support among the #Pashtuns, by painting them as proxies of the Western powers.
There are approximately 400+ Pashtuns joining ISKP daily from the Taliban and other groups, who have lost faith in the Taliban leadership. This includes the warlords that control Nuristan, Khost and other border provinces of Afghanistan to Pakistan.
The easiest way to understand #Pakistan is to understand the quote from George Orwell below:
"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history."
Pakistanis have been taught so many versions of the country's history that no one really knows what has happened and who has done it.
Whether clothed in political sloganeering or manufactured reports from "think tanks" and "journalists" on the government/political parties payroll, Pakistan's true history is known to very few, who are easily shouted down in discussions by those politically inclined and/or military touts.
If you really learned the who and what of what has been done to Pakistan, we might be able to find a way forward to fix the problems this nation faces.
But you want to continue to live in the belief that democracy will save the country, or the dictators have been good for nation, we will see #Jinnah's Pakistan continue disappear.
We were surprised to see #EhsanUllahEhsan publishing another article, and that on The Sunday Guardian(@SundayGuardian), until we looked at the @twitter profile to find this paper is based in #India, who has a strategic advantage in allowing known #terrorists to speak against #Pakistan and its military.
India, who was already caught in a massive 15 year #disinformation operation against Pakistan, called the #IndianChronicles (read the next tweet), by @DisinfoEU, is at it again.

"No nation achieves greatness without aligning its citizens towards a common vision. Unfortunately, Pakistan currently faces a stark reality: societal fragmentation stands at its peak. Among the contributing factors, one of the most crucial is the absence of clearly defined, short- and long-term national goals. This lack of direction leaves the nation adrift, yearning for a leader who can bridge divides and chart a course forward." - @nayyarahmad for @commandeleven

Region. Pakistan's response to Iran's action is according to the situation. Pakistan can't afford to open a new front at the moment but it is compulsory for Pakistan to retaliate otherwise India will think about any adventure.
Iran's attack inside Pakistan is a violation of sovereignty of Pakistan. Terrorism is a common threat to the region but Tehran's drone and missile strike in Pakistan is alarming.
Terrorist organisations working in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iran are posing severe threat to the
