The US and NATO are common enemies of Afghanistan and Iran, said Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, the Deputy Political Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement, reports TOLOnews television.

"The US and the Western world, particularly NATO, are not in an armed war against us, but they are at war with us in politics and economics. They exhibit the same attitude and behavior towards the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, our enemies are mutual, and both countries need to deepen and strengthen their friendly relations," the Taliban deputy FM said during a program in Kabul.
