Mujahid, who said, "We are ready to cooperate with Iran," noted that they are closely following the developments.

"IRAN WILL PREVAIL"

The Taliban spokesman claimed that Iran emerged victorious from the conflict it previously had with Israel, which lasted 12 days. Mujahid expressed that Iran will also prevail against the USA and Israel in the current war.
