Abdul Qahar Balkhi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, issued a statement expressing deep concern over attacks launched by Israel and the United States on Iran, which Iran expanded by targeting Gulf countries.

The statement condemns violations of national sovereignty, territorial integrity, national airspace, and the killing of innocent civilians as unacceptable actions under accepted international principles.

It notes that recent political and security developments in the region have unprecedentedly heightened tensions, with long-term negative consequences expected to impact the entire region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged all parties to immediately halt military actions out of respect for each other's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to resolve issues through diplomatic channels to prevent further escalation of the crisis.
