In a major development, the Afghan Taliban have warned their neighbors against allowing the United States military to operate bases on their soil.
“We urge neighboring countries not to allow anyone to do so,” the Taliban said in a statement.
“If such a step is taken again, it will be a great and historic mistake and disgrace,” the group said, adding that they would “not remain silent in the face of such heinous and provocative acts.”
