Iranian intelligence shares vital information with Afghanistan over Daesh

KABUL - Iran’s Ambassador to Afghanistan Reza Bahrami said the Iranian government has shared information with Kabul on Daesh’s infiltration into Afghanistan.

He made the remarks at a research briefing on “the perception of Afghanistan’s elites from the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan” at the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies in Kabul on Thursday.

Bahrami did not elaborate on how the group infiltrated Afghanistan but said an increase in Daesh activities in Afghanistan is a common concern for the two countries.

“One part of confidential information by security services about details of the transfer of some members of Daesh from other areas into Afghanistan were given to security systems of Afghanistan,” Bahrami said.
