Remarks, claims and rejection of claims by the world and the IE regarding security threats from the territory of Afghanistan to other countries are still continue.
Earlier, Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff expressed his concern that there may be attacks on the US or its allies from the territory of Afghanistan in the next six months.
This concern has once again been renewed on Thursday by the members of the US Senate and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
General Mark Milley said that Afghanistan is being observed from afar and if it considered essential, the US will take necessary expediencies to abolish the threats.
Milley added: “18 months ago, I said that there might be a security threat to the US from Afghanistan in the next 18 months. Although it has become somewhat difficult, the US is still monitoring the situation in Afghanistan from afar and if it considered necessary, we will take practical measures to eliminate the threats.”
The concern is renewed when the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the IE, Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi challenged the countries in Islamabad last week to prove the presence of a terrorist group in Afghanistan.
Apart from the security concerns, the US is also afraid that the military equipment left by them in Afghanistan may be used against them.
US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin has assured the members of the US Senate that the equipment left in Afghanistan is not what they used.
He said: “You know! In the past 20 years, we have given an abundant amount of military equipment to the security forces of the previous Afghan government, and when the government fell, the equipment was left to the Taliban. But that is the equipment that we gave to the Afghan forces, not that was used by our forces. We have successfully brought our equipment out of Afghanistan.”
During its 20-year presence in Afghanistan, the US has given the security forces of the previous government about seven billion dollars’ worth of military equipment, which is now being used by the IE’s forces.
The remaining of military equipment has raised controversy in the US and is the biggest point of contention between former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
