“BREAKING: We ordered the border forces of 3 provinces to attack Pakistan. Currently our operation is going on. We have captured 9 Pakistani posts & torched them. Significant damage to Pak Army brigade hq in our retaliation, says Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid.”
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid made no such statement, and Afghanistan did not invade Pakistan. -
The Arabic calligraphy printed on the fabric of a woman’s dress was the word “Halwa.” It had nothing to do with the Quranic verses or blasphemy.

"Most of the time they talk about mortality of the mother and children … but when we ask from where you have got this data, they have no answer for us. So, I think some of their reports are fake reports."
Credible international sources have documented Afghanistan's healthcare crisis under the Taliban. -
“The concern of the UNAMA for women is incorrect. The concern of the UNAMA about the mistreatment of women in Afghanistan regarding their hijab, is incorrect. Afghan women wear hijab on their own, neither they have been forced to do so, nor the ministry of vice and virtue mistreated them. This is just propaganda and far from the reality.”
The Taliban strictly enforce the Islamic dress code. Independent sources report arrests and mistreatment of women and girls for hijab violations. -
Human rights groups and trusted media outlets have confirmed that Pakistan has been deporting Afghan refugees awaiting resettlement in the United States.

“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan does not interfere in the affairs of any institution to disrupt their work. We and our military are obliged to ensure their security.”
Taliban actions and policies, such as the exclusion of female humanitarian staff, inhibit the ability of aid to reach Afghans. -
“…in no country in the world, wherever the forces of the North Atlantic Alliance invaded, neither the elementary order nor the pre-war standard of living of the local population was restored.”
Since its creation, NATO has conducted military missions in six conflicts. In four countries, the quality of life and order has improved significantly. In two others — Libya and Afghanistan — the situation remains turbulent. -

"The truth is that after the expulsion of the foreign forces (from Afghanistan) and full control of Islamic Emirate, equipment and vehicles are stored and saved in depots, and no one is allowed to smuggle or sell even a single weapon."
While reports indicate the Taliban have cracked down on the practice, arms smuggling, particularly to ideologically aligned militants abroad, continues. -
“It seems like the Americans deliberately left these weapons there, and now they are destabilizing the situation because terrorists may get hold of them.”
Washington had provided the Afghan security forces the weapons to fight the militants. The Taliban seized those weapons after the U.S. withdrawal. -
“The Ministry of Education assures its people and the international community that the Islamic Emirate considers education essential for every Afghan.”
In fact, the Taliban have indefinitely suspended higher education for female students. -
“Their first excuse for choosing Afghanistan for the invasion was the existence of terrorism and al-Qaida while the group came to Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks.”
Iran’s attempts at historical revisionism bear no relation to the realities of al-Qaida and Islamic State operations in Afghanistan.
