Iranian and Afghan intelligence forces have captured three spies working for the Israeli Mossad in the mountainous border areas between the two countries, according to Iranian news agencies.

The agents, who have Iranian nationality, were planning to launch attacks on Iranian soil using suicide drones and create tensions between Iran and Afghanistan.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which took over the country after the US withdrawal, will soon hand over the arrested spies to Iran for further interrogation and punishment. The Islamic Emirate has been cooperating with Iran in the fight against terrorism, especially the ISIS group, which has been active in the region.

Iran's Minister of Information, Hojjat-ul-Islam Saidas Ismail Khatib, praised the good cooperation of the Islamic Emirate with Iran in a recent interview with the state radio and television.

“We must act cautiously, America left Afghanistan with cowardice, the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, and it cooperates well with us in the fight against terrorism,” Khatib said.

The Islamic Emirate authorities have also repeatedly stated that they have suppressed the terrorist and dissident groups in Afghanistan with the help of the country's security forces. They have assured their neighbors and the international community that they will not allow any threat to emanate from their territory. (ILKHA)
