The fulfilment of what is known as Iran’s claim from the Helmand River is a priority, according to the country’s special envoy for Afghanistan affairs, echoing remarks made by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
The execution of Iran’s claim to the Helmand River in accordance with the Treaty of 1351, according to Hassan Kazemi Qomi, the country’s ambassador to Afghanistan and special envoy of the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is the top priority in Iran’s discussions.
Mr. Qomi reportedly stated, “This is an international treaty and within its framework, 820 million cubic metres of water should come to Iran in the years when there is water, and the Afghan side is committed to this issue.”
This is in spite of the fact that Ebrahim Raisi, the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, recently commanded the country’s ministry of foreign affairs and his special envoy for Afghanistan-related matters to take this matter seriously.
The Islamic Emirate’s officials have yet to reply to the Iranian government’s most recent assertions on the Helmand River’s non-compliance with its claim.
