Jomhouri-e-Eslami Newspaper has reported that the Taliban have threatened to capture Isfahan province within two days.
According to this newspaper, Afghan immigrants in Iran use over one trillion Toman (1 toman is equivalent to 10 Iranian rials) worth of water annually, but the Taliban is currently not willing to provide Iran's water rights from the Helmand River.
In recent weeks, the presence of Afghan refugees in Iran has become controversial.
In recent days, certain Iranian media outlets have discussed the presence of Afghan refugees in Iran in a "discriminatory" and "racist" manner.
However, in an article published by the Jomhouri-e-Eslami Newspaper on Sunday, it wrote, "It is even more strange that inside [Iran], those who criticise the refugee issues are called anti-Afghans."
After the takeover of power by the Taliban in August 2021, Afghan citizens' migration to neighbouring countries, particularly Pakistan and Iran, has increased dramatically.
There have been several factors for these migrations, including concerns about potential reprisals by the Taliban against former government employees, human rights activists, and political opponents, as well as the ban on girls' education and a substantial rise in unemployment and poverty.
