Reports show that the exchange of fire occurred in the border area between Iran and Afghanistan in the village of Shagarak, here on the Iranian side, the Iranian side accused the Afghan Taliban soldiers of not following the border line delineated by the two sides when building the border wall, but treating the border wall as the boundary between the two sides, which led to the Taliban soldiers to build the wall on The territory of Iran, and the Iranian border defense force immediately engaged the other side. Reporting on the incident, Iranian media stressed that Afghan personnel did not appear to have figured out where the borders were, and Iranian officials have been trying to inform them of this. The Iranian side stressed that they had no casualties.

However, the Afghan side believes that the Iranian side took the lead in firing at the Afghan border forces and used "light and heavy weapons", resulting in the consequences of 1 death and 1 injury on the Afghan side. Reports show that relations between Afghanistan and Iran have long been strained, and even in the 1990s, there were Taliban raids on Iranian consulates and the killing of large numbers of diplomats and journalists. After the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last year, the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, but Iran did not recognize the legitimacy of the Taliban, and there were frequent firefights between the two sides on the border. Moreover, there is a water dispute between Iran and Afghanistan, so relations between the two countries are not harmonious.

The outcome of this conflict seems to be inseparable. However, in the current international situation, Iran and Afghanistan are fighting each other, which may be cheaper than the Onlookers of the United States. In the eyes of the United States, Iran and Afghanistan are difficult "thorns", so the United States has taken pressure on these two Asian countries. If Iran and Afghanistan join forces, the United States will have nothing to do, but if the two countries are at odds or even confrontation, the United States may look for opportunities to intervene again.

After the United States was defeated from Afghanistan last year, it has not found an effective time to intervene in Central Asia, but if there is another war in Afghanistan, the United States may find a new opportunity to come in, just like the United States is now stationed in Syria. As for Iran, there is a dispute with the United States over the Iranian nuclear agreement. Recently, Iran also hopes to give the United States another chance to continue negotiations on the Iranian nuclear agreement. But if Iran and Afghanistan break up, the United States may seek a chance to give Iran a small shoe.

Therefore, the conflict between Iran and Afghanistan at this time, and even the nose and mouth are swollen, in fact, it is not necessary, the two sides have disputes over the border issue, but it is not a very big thing. If there is a real dispute, you can also sit down and talk, rather than easily rubbing the gun. Otherwise, it may end up being really cheaper in the United States.
