Ismail Khan: Herat fall was a multi-layered intelligence project

Elaha Tue Aug 2025 3 months ago 690

Herat, which was the third key province of Afghanistan after Nimruz and Sheberghan, fell to the Taliban just two days before the fall of Kabul in 1400. Ismail Khan and other local officials were captured by the Taliban during this event.


Recalling the days of armed resistance against the Taliban in Herat, he wrote: “Despite extensive efforts to defend the city, the Taliban, with false claims of piety and jurisprudence, but through bloodshed, massacre, and complicity in numerous conspiracies, gained control over Herat and the entirety of Afghanistan.”


Ismail Khan, who was transferred to Mashhad a few days after his captivity and now lives in Iran, emphasized that the Taliban’s actions over the past four years have been “clear evidence of the legitimacy of his and his forces’ struggle.”


The former commander called on all political and social forces to “strive by any means possible” to change the current situation and not allow the people’s hopes and aspirations for achieving a “justice-oriented, compassionate, planned, and committed system” to be extinguished.

Ismail Khan, a prominent figure of Jamiat-e Islami and former commander of Herat’s popular forces against the Taliban, described the fall of Herat and other Afghan cities to the Taliban as a “complex and multilayered intelligence project” in a recent note published on Tuesday, 21 Asad, on Facebook.
