Iranian former parliament speaker Ali Larijani stated that he has conducted discussions with the Afghan Taliban about terrorist groups operating on Afghan soil, including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). He claimed the Taliban acknowledged the presence of these groups and argued that neighboring countries must collaborate to combat terrorism emanating from Afghanistan. The remarks frame the Taliban–TTP nexus as a regional security concern and underscore the need for multilateral action to address cross-border threats to Pakistan.
