Taliban Pledges Support for Iran Amid US Tensions
The United States remains committed to diplomatic solutions and a negotiated settlement with Iran, despite the complexities of dealing with radical Shiite clerics whose geopolitical decisions are driven by theology. While acknowledging past difficulties in reaching successful agreements, the administration intends to pursue these negotiations as the immediate priority. Concurrently, the U.S. maintains a military posture in the region to protect its forces from potential threats, ensuring readiness should defensive action become necessary. Any future actions will adhere to U.S. law and congressional mandates.
