As an independent nation committed to peace and weary of decades of war, Afghanistan welcomes the ceasefire between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel. This development is not only a positive step for the two involved parties but also a hopeful sign for the entire region and the world. War brings nothing but destruction and stands as a serious obstacle to humanity and progress. The Afghan caretaker government’s support for this ceasefire and its hope for lasting peace reflects the Afghan nation’s deep desire for stability.
Iran, our historical, cultural, and neighboring brotherly country, has consistently adopted a logical and balanced stance on major global issues. Its position in favor of this ceasefire and its support for regional stability is a cause for optimism among peace-loving nations. As Afghanistan, we firmly believe that peace efforts should go beyond rhetoric and must translate into practical steps. At the same time, the defense of the rights and freedoms of the oppressed Palestinian people must be a shared goal for all free nations.
If the current ceasefire holds, it can prevent the spread of a wider regional war, end the bloodshed of innocent civilians, and pave the way for economic development, cultural exchange, and mutual respect. Afghanistan stands shoulder to shoulder with all regional and international nations that favor dialogue over conflict, understanding over hostility, and cooperation over violence.
Peace is not merely a temporary need—it is a strategic necessity for all nations. If Iran and other countries succeed in resolving disputes through mutual understanding, it will not only signal the beginning of relief for the suffering Palestinians but also serve as an inspiring example for the entire Islamic world. The cries of oppressed people are never in vain; if the world stands on the foundation of justice and fairness, the voices of Palestine will be heard, and their wounds will be healed.
On behalf of the Afghan people, we call on all our neighbors, Islamic countries, and members of the international community not to waste this fragile opportunity for peace. This ceasefire must be the beginning of a long-term political solution—not just a temporary pause. True commitment to peace requires sincerity, transparency, mutual respect, and practical action beyond mere words.
In conclusion, we wish prosperity, progress, and lasting peace for the people of Iran. We remain hopeful that this ceasefire will mark the beginning of a durable peace and will reopen the path to freedom, dignity, and a peaceful life for the oppressed people of Palestine. As a nation with firsthand experience of the horrors of war, Afghanistan understands the value of peace and deeply respects the efforts of any nation that chooses reconciliation over conflict.
We continue to pray for the rise of the sun of peace.
