New audio message from The Islamic State Wilāyat Khurāsān’s Shaykh Abū Fataḥ al-Khurāsānī: “The Answer To Those Who Say That There Is No Jihād or Caliphate In the Present Time”

Check out my new ‘Policy Watch’ for the Washington Institute: “Iran Formalizes Ties with the Taliban”

On February 26, Iran officially handed over the Afghan embassy in Tehran to diplomats from the Taliban—a big step in formalizing and deepening their ties. Relations between the two governments will not start from scratch, as ties have been developing in a number of areas over the past year and a half. The Taliban previously operated consulate-generals out of Mashhad and Zahedan, while Iran never formally closed its embassy in Kabul following the group’s 2021 takeover in Afghanistan. The situation is notably different from the tensions that characterized the first iteration of the Taliban’s “Islamic Emirate,” when Tehran had deep security concerns about the group due to its mistreatment of Afghanistan’s Shia Hazara community and its 1998 killing of Iranian diplomats at the Mazar-e Sharif consulate. Indeed, the embassy handover is another accomplishment in the Taliban’s slow but persistent push for legitimacy and full international recognition, even if the latter has yet to happen.

New video message from Hay’at Taḥrīr al-Shām: “Even If You Should Be Within Towers Of Lofty Construction: Scenes From the Qualitative Operation of the Mujāhidīn From the Red Bandanas At the Summit of Tawrūs, North of al-Lādhiqīyah”

The first half of the title of this release is in reference to Qur’anic verse 4:78. Here it is in full: “Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, ‘This is from God’; and if evil befalls them, they say, ‘This is from you.’ Say, ‘All [things] are from God.’ So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?”
