Tarz Press: Three days have passed since the significant developments in Lebanon, where Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was killed, and many global nations have declared their positions regarding Israel’s actions. However, the Taliban have remained completely silent on the matter.
This silence comes after the Taliban had recently condemned Israel's attacks on Lebanon and called on the international community to stop Israel. The Taliban also reacted quickly to the death of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, in Iran. Yet, it seems they have chosen to stay quiet regarding the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah.
With the killing of Nasrallah, the likelihood of a direct confrontation between Iran and Israel has increased, which could redefine the dynamics in the Middle East. Iranian officials, while stating that Nasrallah's death will not affect Hezbollah’s military resistance against Israel, are reportedly seeking diplomatic solutions to address the situation.
Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations has called on UN Secretary-General António Guterres to convene an emergency session to address Israel's attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. What makes the situation even more dangerous is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence on continuing the war and seeking revenge against Hezbollah.
In his first comments following the death of Nasrallah, Netanyahu once again threatened Iran, stating that it remains within Israel’s range of attacks. Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden described Nasrallah's death as an act of justice and publicly reiterated his support for Israel’s actions against Iran-backed groups.
While countries like Britain, France, European nations, and Canada have called for an end to the cycle of violence in the Middle East, Netanyahu’s remarks about ending Iran’s proxy influence in the region could redefine global dynamics.
It appears that the Taliban, in the face of these major political developments and the potential for powerful military strikes, have chosen to remain silent.
