Kabul: Iran’s ambassador and special representative in Kabul, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, expressed concern about the actions of the Afghan governing body, which could potentially lead to more sanctions being imposed by the UN Security Council.
In an interview with a local media outlet, Mr. Qomi stated that Iran will participate in the UN-sponsored Doha meeting adding that “Iran’s stance in this meeting is independent and based on a deep understanding of the realities and requirements in which the interests of the people and the government of Afghanistan are secured.”
He said, “We strongly and openly criticize the unilateral approaches adopted by big powers and international organizations.”
Referring to the massive similarities between Iran and Afghanistan’s peoples, the Iranian diplomat said that Iran opposes sanctions on the country and urged the UN to take into account the humanitarian situation in the country.
“In our opinion, the view of humanitarian issues by the United Nations should not be gendered (based on gender-related issues),” he said, adding, “We are extremely frightened that this path will cause the Security Council to impose more sanctions this autumn and winter with different reasons based on Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter,” he added.
