Afghanistan's delicate balance amid regional conflicts

Despite avoiding direct attack in the Iran war, it's feeling the effects: returning refugees from Iran, inflation spikes on imports like building materials, and strained Gulf relations that limit its diplomatic options. A senior official says Afghanistan opposes retaliatory strikes, calling them 'unfair', and is pushing for peaceful solutions while urging Pakistan toward a pragmatic approach to allow trade to continue despite security disputes. The country's trying to rebuild amidst this instability.
