Mohammad Reza Bahrami, former ambassador of Iran in Kabul, has said that differences among Taliban political factions is serious and it is unlikely that these rifts will be contained soon.

Bahrami stressed that the Taliban's recognition has not been planned by any country as they can't trust the group.

Taliban has denied the internal disagreements, however, many countries and even United Nations’ officials also believe that the group is facing massive intra-group rifts.

Earlier, Scott Smith, the head of the political affairs of United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), had said that a clear example of difference among the Taliban is the group’s different positions regarding the reopening of girls’ schools. According to Smith, Taliban in Kabul have differences with the Kandahari Taliban and Haqqani Network and they don’t know how to govern Afghanistan.

Bahrami on Wednesday at the ‘national conference of Afghanistan and prospect for the future’ which has been held in Iran said, “We must consider the fragility beside all the components of the Taliban's power.”

This former Iranian diplomat believes that there is no consensus about Afghanistan in the region and priorities of the regional countries are different.

According to him, the Western countries also have the ability to disrupt the current situation of the Taliban by using their military leverage, but they have no alternative.

The former ambassador of Iran in Afghanistan said that even if the countries are interacting with Taliban, they will not recognise the Taliban as a legitimate government.
