The political office of the Islamic Emirate has denied allegations about Kabul’s intention to “access nuclear weapons.”
The head of the office, Suhail Shaheen, said that the Islamic Emirate plans to repair the weapons left behind by foreign forces in Afghanistan.
Earlier, a congressman asked Thomas West, the US representative for Afghanistan, about the Islamic Emirate envoy’s visit to North Korea to “access nuclear weapons.”
“I totally deny such claims, they are not true. The Islamic Emirate is busy repairing the weapons left behind during the past two decades of war, not competing with nuclear weapons. These are baseless allegations,” Suhail Shaheen, head of the political office of the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews.
International relations experts expressed various views about the issue.
“Making nuclear weapons or accessing them is propaganda, merely a lie. Many countries like Iran tried to access nuclear weapons but failed,” said Muhammad Hashim Danish, an international relations expert.
“Afghanistan is affected by the economies of other countries. How can the Islamic Emirate think of accessing nuclear weapons,” said Najiburahman Shamal, a political analyst.
Earlier, Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said that Kabul has never had negotiations about accessing weapons with any country, adding that the Islamic Emirate’s forces possess sufficient munitions.
