WASHINGTON: The United States is actively addressing emerging threats from Afghanistan, according to Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel,
Patel made this statement during a press conference in response to questions about a United Nations report detailing the rise of terrorist groups in Afghanistan. He emphasized that the U.S. is working in collaboration with international partners to enhance counter-terrorism efforts, ensuring Afghanistan does not become a launchpad for attacks against the U.S.
In response to concerns about assaults on Pakistani forces originating from Afghanistan, Patel noted that the U.S. is closely coordinating with its partners and allies on counter-terrorism initiatives. He also pointed out the significant threat posed by Daesh, characterizing it as an international terrorist network with both the capability and ambition to conduct attacks globally.
