Remarks by spokesman of Islamic Emirate concerning bombings and recurrent violation of agreement by US forces in Helmand

American forces have violated the Doha agreement in various forms by carrying out excessive airstrikes following the new developments in Helmand province.

According to the Doha agreement, the American forces are prohibited from carrying out airstrikes or targeting anyone in areas other than combat zones or during active fighting.

However, over the past few days, drone and other fighter aircrafts have carried out attacks during day and night times in Nahr Siraj, Khushkawa, Babaji, Malgir and Band-e-Barq areas of Greshk and various areas of Sangin, Marjah, Nawa and Nad Ali districts. Moreover, airstrikes have also been carried out in Farah and other provinces which are all a direct and clear violation of the Doha agreement.

All contents of the US-Islamic Emirate agreement are unambiguous, but the opposite side has violated its commitments on numerous occasions, are engaging in provocative actions and bombing non-combat zones.

All responsibility and consequences from continuation of such actions shall fall squarely on the shoulders of the American side.
