Four American bombers [B-52 and B-2 Spirit] are already traveling to Afghanistan for possible air strike preparations in reaction to yesterday's terrorist attacks at Kabul airport, according to Russian military intelligence. The information has not yet been formally confirmed, but it comes in the wake of US President Joe Biden's recent call for the terrorist group ISIS-K to hit terrorists and their buildings.
“We will respond with force and precision in our time, in the place we choose, and in the manner we choose,” Biden said, declining to provide specifics on when he would retaliate. “These ISIS terrorists are doomed to fail. The Americans will be rescued by us. We'll expel our Afghan pals. And our mission shall continue,” said the President. “The United States of America will not be intimidated.” The four airplanes were observed in the Persian Gulf region shortly before he made his statement.
The next airstrikes, according to military analysts and political academics, will be carried out not only in Afghanistan but also in Iraq and Syria. According to them [experts], the US will first attack specific Islamic State positions and positions, followed by an “individual hunt” of persons linked to and affiliated with the terrorist group.
The Taliban have requested assistance from the United Nations.
Sher Mohammed Abbas Stanekzai, deputy head of the Taliban's political office in Doha, met with David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Program (WFP), to talk about humanitarian relief and the present situation in Afghanistan.
On Friday, Taliban spokesperson Mohamed Naim said, “Both sides also discussed the challenges facing the country, adding that the World Food Program must provide immediate assistance to the poor in Afghanistan.”
The Islamic Emir's delegation assured the WFP's head of security and cooperation and thanked them for the humanitarian aid, according to the statement.
There are concerns that the terrorist threat to Russia will grow.
Following the explosion at Kabul airport, Alexei Chepa, deputy head of the State Duma's international affairs committee, told Interfax that there were fears of a rise in the terrorist danger to Russia.
“The terrorist attack occurred despite the United States' declarations of agreements with the Taliban during the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Following the explosion in Kabul, the Russian Federation is facing a heightened threat of terrorist strikes, according to Chepa.
At the same time, Chepa emphasized that, given the threat of terrorists infiltrating Russian Federation territory, Russia has never deleted this threat from its accounts and has not lost attention.
“To be honest, we've never gotten rid of this suspicion. We've recently performed exercises in both Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and we know what the threat is in this country, therefore we'll work,” the parliamentarian added.
At least one explosion was recorded in the region of Kabul airport on Thursday, according to US media reports, and the Turkish Ministry of Defense confirmed two blasts. We can talk about 13 victims, including children, according to unsubstantiated sources.
