The Afghan charge d'affaires to Tehran, Shah Mardan Qol, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday to hear Iran's complaint about Afghan media campaign against the Islamic Republic, Mehr News reported.
Mohsen Pak Ayeen, director of the Afghanistan Department at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said the media propaganda against Iran is in line with the goals of the countries which seek to damage "the friendly and brotherly relationship" between Tehran and Kabul and expressed hope that "this situation would be managed by the Afghanistan government."
The charge d'affaires expressed regret over the propaganda move against Iran and vowed to announce Tehran's worries to his government.
Pak Ayeen also pointed to Iran's concerns about the security consequences of the Strategic Partnership Agreement between the United States and Afghanistan and said Iranian officials have repeatedly reminded Afghan officials that Tehran is worried about the U.S. security threats to the region.
