Officials of the Islamic Emirate and Iran say that yesterday's clash between the two forces in Kong district of Nimroz province was caused by a misunderstanding.
According to local officials in Nimroz, the forces of the Islamic Emirate took military action after the shelling by the Iranian military, which lasted for several hours and no one was injured.

On the other hand, the forces of the Islamic Emirate used light and heavy weapons near the border, and on the other side of the border, the Iranian military fired artillery and other heavy weapons on the territory of Afghanistan.

"They used artillery and mortars. When there are problems in our territory, we are ready to confront them," said Abdul Ba'ath, a member of the Islamic Emirate.

Meanwhile, some sources say that Iranian citizens had entered Afghanistan illegally and that the forces of the Islamic Emirate had fired to drive them out, but that the Iranian border guards had targeted Afghanistan with heavy weapons.

Local officials in Nimroz say the fighting in the Kong district of the province ended with an agreement between the Afghan and Iranian sides.

"We have not suffered any casualties or financial losses, I assure you," said Mullah Najibullah Rafi, the governor of Nimroz.
Some citizens and military experts believe that the war between Afghanistan and Iran is to the detriment of both countries. They call on the officials of the two countries to avoid any conflict between the two sides in the future.

Abdul Zahir, a resident of Nimroz, said: "We wish that there would be no war and discord between neighboring countries and that we would not see such a scene again. "Countries must work together."

"The situation is chaotic, Afghanistan is not in a position to establish bad relations with neighboring countries and which foreign countries," said Mohammad Naeem Ghayyur, a military expert.

Clashes between Islamic Emirate forces and Iranian border guards in Kong Nimroz district have been unprecedented for nearly 20 years.
