I've Been Thinking:

The foreign minister of Iran met with the Taliban foreign minister in Teheran.

After the meeting Iranian leadership announced that they are not yet ready to recognize the Taliban government of Afghanistan.

In the meantime, they decided to have future meetings and, Iran announced, they will continue to send humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.

It is important to remember that Iran and Afghanistan share a border – a very long border – 921 miles. That is the distance between new York City and Minneapolis or NYC and Des Moines, Iowa. There have been border conflicts between the two since August, that is when the Taliban forced the United States to leave Afghanistan.

Iran has a long memory. They reminded the Taliban that in 1998 Taliban terrorists kidnapped and murdered Iran’s ambassador to Afghanistan in the Iranian consulate.

Iran said that the Taliban has never taken responsibility for the murder and the terror.
