Overall, Trump’s policies toward Afghanistan are unlikely to achieve their intended goals. Instead, they risk deepening the country’s humanitarian, economic, and political crises. His dual approach—reducing U.S. military involvement while simultaneously exerting pressure on the Islamic Emirate and politicizing humanitarian aid—fails to provide a viable solution for Afghanistan’s challenges.
Since the return of the Islamic Emirate to power, relations between Iran and Afghanistan have continued as before. Over the past three years, both countries have made efforts to strengthen their ties by leveraging each other’s capacities, particularly in boosting economic cooperation. Recently, Iran sent its Foreign Minister to Kabul in an attempt to deepen its relationship with Afghanistan.
The analysis of global and Afghan developments in 2024 reveals a year filled with significant political, security, and economic events. Politically, the year witnessed substantial leadership transitions in many countries, with over seventy nations experiencing changes in government. Among these, the shift of power in the United States from Democrats to Republicans, particularly the return of the controversial figure Donald Trump, is likely to have a profound impact on global politics in the years ahead.

The conference of Islamic countries and Islamic states should work together on such a policy in order to prevent such incidents in the future. This policy may also include severing ties with the country that allows such activities to take place.
On the other hand, the reception of Yevgeny Prigozhin and his troops in Rostov and the escorting of this military leader indicates that Russian citizens are tired of the war and welcome any factor that can reduce the bloodshed in the Russian war with Ukraine.
The Islamic Emirate should assure and convince India in every possible way that its foreign policy is completely independent and based on national and Islamic values and will never look at India through Pakistan’s window.
