Doha/Kabul: – Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen threatened, ‘The United States and the NATO member countries should withdraw their soldiers completely from Afghanistan, as per the agreement signed in Qatar. If even a single NATO soldier is seen in Kabul, after 11th September, there will be dire consequences.’ Even after the US military withdrawal, the United States has announced that 1,000 US soldiers will remain deployed in Kabul. Whereas Turkey and the United Kingdom also announced the deployment of their special units in Afghanistan. The Taliban threat comes against this background.
The United States has handed over keys to the most extensive military base at Bagram to the Afghan military. 50% of the US soldiers and weapons have returned to the homeland, and President Biden has announced that the rest will be brought home before the end of August. John Kirby, spokesman of Pentagon, the US military headquarters, informed that the United States had made preparations to carry out airstrikes from Qatar.
