On August 11, the Taliban shot down a drone over the southwestern Afghan province of Farah which shares a long border line with Iran.
The group released photos showing the wreckage of the drone, that was identified as an Iranian-made Qods Mohajer-2N. The drone, which was first presented in 2014, is an upgraded variant of the original Mohajer-2.

The Mohajer-2N has a range of 150 km and flight endurance of 6 hours. The drone is equipped with two cameras; one under the nose for navigation, and a second on a gimbal under the body for surveillance. The drone can also transmit imagery in real time.

The Iranian drone was most likely on a reconnaissance mission over Farah, where the Taliban has been advancing nonstop for a while now.
A day earlier, Taliban fighters imposed control of Farah provincial capital. Farah was the second provincial capital in southwestern Afghanistan to fell into the hands of the Taliban. On August 6, the group captured the capital of the neighboring Nimruz province. The capture of Farah also provided the Taliban with another border crossing into Iran.
The Taliban’s recent advance in the southwestern and northwestern parts of Afghanistan created an influx of refugees to Iran. Despite maintaining some low-level relations with the Taliban, Tehran appears to be preparing for a worst case scenario.
Iran is doing the right thing by monitoring its borders. With these Taliban animals you never know.
Shia dogs in tehran benefitted for 20 years by talibs keeping the US occupied, else their pissy state would have been next on the chopping block.
not much benefit of what was happening in afghanistan because the mess always ended up spread anyway be it the opium or the refugees or whatever happened it never was contained
Iran should not aim for provocative acts and don’t play in Taliban game yard, any such adventure is going to be costly,
Iranians are too smart to fall into any trap. They ruled over Afghanistan for 2000 years and know how to deal with barbarians.
Still drunk on Cowp1ss? When exactly did Iran rule Afghanistan?
always and that is why many afghanis still call it aria btw i talk the same language as the people of afghanistan and the people of afghanistan usually praise iran more than they do their own country which is strange but the reality here if you could give people of afghanistan the choice between taliban and iran the taliban will be in a plane to qatar before they know what happened they can negotiate with us about what happens to them under iranian citizenship
Uneducated dumb Wahhabi pig, read some history.
From about 565 to 1750. Two of the four main capitals of Khorasan (Iran) (Balkh and Herat) are now located in Afghanistan.
The name Khorāsān is Persian and means “where the sun arrives from” or “the Eastern Province”
And I am certain that you have heard about Rumi, Rumi was born in Kabul… Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī (Persian: جلالالدین محمد رومی), also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Balkhī (جلالالدین محمد بلخى), Mevlânâ/Mowlānā (مولانا, “our master”), Mevlevî/Mawlawī (مولوی, “my master”), and more popularly simply as Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian[11][1][12] poet, Hanafi faqih, Islamic scholar, Maturidi theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from Greater Khorasan in Greater Iran.[12][13] Rumi’s influence transcends national borders and ethnic divisions: Iranians, Tajiks, Turks, Greeks, Pashtuns, other Central Asian Muslims, and the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent have greatly appreciated his spiritual legacy for the past seven centuries
Rumi is widely appreciated in the West as well.
they arent barbarians but tribal people they are not competent enough to rule themselves you shall see to many tribes no sustainable governing concepts at hand
taliban is basically the horror of the world but they are losers they are much less competent than the yemenis which is kind of sad because the yemenis were on their own completely
The best chance of survival for Afghanistan is to organize a nationalist hashad al shaabi militia similar to Iraq’s. But so far the government opposes to its detriment.
They too will get crushed. This aint Iraq or Syria. Taliban arent paid mercs of saud and UAE. They are the killers of empire and Persia aint an empire no more so stand NO CHANCE.
Dumb Wahhabi pig read some history in the madrassa rather than sitting in the mullahs lap.
Iran did mistake by keeping taliban high profile people in iran. Taliban are liars and backstabber once they take control of Afghan. they will start showing true colours and will organise terrisot to attak iran border and hsia muslim in afganistan. taliban are dog tail will never change they will go and sit in Saudi and US lap soon to target Shia and all ressitance. its time to create Army from Afghan REfugee specially shia muslim and put them stand By to create buffer zone on thier border with Afganistan. if any stupidity by Taliban then iran can teach them lesson.
Considering the fate of the Zionist cowards, the Taliban savages will get the whupping of a lifetime if the fcuk with Iran. Even the savages are not that stupid.
They cant get a whipping shiaSw1ne. Iran is fighting for its very existence and cannot afford to open another front.Taliban saved Iranian ass by keeping US occupied with fighting them. WHY are you so scared of taliban? All they want is the country they once controlled back – its because you know that your scrared persians are no match for taliban. You Only good for pushing Arab proxies to the frontline and try and manage from the rear. LoL
Bullshit, USA has had since 1979 to take on iran, all efforts failed.
Losers, just like you.
Coward cant even use your real name.
Taliban are not Backstabber – ShiaD0gs are – they have Taqiyyah, not Taliban. Shia always speak with forked tongue.Their cult priests in Qom allow it
not flying high enough…
apparently, neither did the US, hence they are now “over the horizon” and their puppets are crumbling and wetting their trousers. LMFAO
Muhammad was poisoned by a Jew worry about that
You stinking Hindus are even dumber than Wahhabi pigs.
why ?
If they can shoot down Iranian drones, they can shoot down American ones too …
