Iranian Interior Minister Abdul Reza Rahimi Fazli on Tuesday proposed launching a trilateral counter-insurgency operation inside Afghanistan and Pakistan territories in order to halt the expansion of Daesh, which has increasingly collaborated with other insurgent groups in the region to wage a campaign of indiscriminate violence that threatens stability in all three nations.The Iranian official's proposal comes just a few days after a terrorist group known as Jaishuladl killed eight Iranian border police in the region between Iran and Pakistan."Tehran doesn't face a critical security threat right now, and the recent events inside Iranian territory happened because of the lack of preemptive measures in neighboring countries,"Minister Fazli said on Tuesday. "But Iran wants a joint military operation against the insurgents to be conducted inside the Afghan and Pakistani territories."The Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) responded to Fazli on Tuesday, saying the possibility of a joint operation supported by Iran would be taken under consideration by national security leaders. However, the MoFA officials also made a point of reiterating faith in the abilities of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to handle insurgent and terrorist threats on their own.
