TENSION BETWEEN THE TALIBAN AND PAKISTAN; A CONFLICT OF TWO SOVEREIGNTIES
The conflict between the Taliban in Afghanistan and the government of Pakistan is neither a simple border dispute nor merely a security crisis; rather, it is a complex struggle between two power structures that have both emerged from regional geopolitical projects. This multilayered confrontation is ambiguous and tainted by intelligence and ideological games; a war that outwardly advances under the slogan of security and national sovereignty, but inwardly is a competition for influence, control, and legitimacy.
The government of Pakistan claims that the Taliban in Afghanistan supports the “Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan”, or TTP. “Tehrik” [provocation], has been fighting against the Pakistani state for years. The Taliban in Afghanistan denies this support, yet numerous pieces of evidence indicate the presence, safe havens, and ideological ties between the two movements.
From a political perspective, this relationship is not merely ideological sympathy, but a structural linkage; both draw from a particular interpretation of political Islam and share common roots in the region’s religious schools. What Pakistan today calls a “threat” was in the past part of its own regional policy toolkit. Now, that very cultivated force has turned into a challenge against the structure itself.
The Durand Line is for Pakistan an official and international border; for the Taliban, an “imaginary line.” Relying on an ethnic claim, the Taliban considers this border a divider of the Pashtuns.
Yet behind this claim, the issue is not only ethnicity; it is the expansion of “sovereignty.” The Taliban does not wish to accept a border that, in its view, is a legacy of colonialism, because accepting it would mean consolidating the modern nation-state order — an order that the Taliban itself, in practice, reproduces in another form.
The Taliban’s ideology is not confined to Afghanistan’s geography. Their interpretation of the “Islamic Emirate” carries an inspirational character for aligned movements in the region. From Pakistan’s perspective, the main danger is that the Taliban model may spread into its own territory and destabilize the country’s semi-military–semi-civil order.
In the meantime, a historical contradiction is evident. Pakistan used armed groups for years as instruments of strategic depth, but now it is confronted with a version of the same logic that is no longer controllable.
The expanding relations between the Taliban and India are worrying for Pakistan. Any form of rapprochement between Kabul and New Delhi is perceived by Pakistani strategists as a weakening of Islamabad’s regional position.
The Taliban, once a joint project of certain Pakistani security circles and foreign support within the context of the late Cold War and its aftermath, now seeks to present itself as free from historical dependency and to engage with more diverse actors.
In my view, this conflict is not a war between the peoples of Afghanistan and Pakistan, but a war between two power apparatuses. In airstrikes, explosions, and border clashes, the main victims are ordinary citizens — people who have no share in decision-making and no part in the benefits of power.
Within this framework, even the possibility of “managing tension” to mobilize nationalist sentiments is not far-fetched; for crisis-ridden governments sometimes use an external enemy to strengthen internal cohesion.
Consequently, it can be argued that this conflict is a clash between two narratives of sovereignty.
One is a national-security state that for years has used unscrupulous tools to advance its foreign policy; the other is an ideological emirate that now sees itself as an independent regional actor.
But on both sides of the border, ordinary people are the victims.
In the end, this war is a war of power; not a war of the peoples of Afghanistan and Pakistan. What burns and is destroyed are villages, homes, and the lives of defenseless human beings; and what is preserved are structures of authority.

⚠️ Confirmed: Network data show #Iran is now in the midst of a near-total internet blackout with national connectivity at 4% or ordinary levels. The incident comes amid US and Israeli combat operations and matches measures used during last year's war with Israel.

Analytical Statement on Recent Reports
Following reports by some foreign media and sources regarding the possible killing of the Ali Khamenei Supreme Leader of the “Islamic Republic of Iran” during joint airstrikes against military and security targets, it should be emphasized that, to date, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities or domestic media.
In sensitive and critical situations, adherence to professional principles of information, avoiding hasty judgments, and relying on verified sources are more important than ever. Past experiences have shown that uncertainty and tension can lead to the spread of rumors, psychological warfare, and misleading analyses. Therefore, a responsible approach requires refraining from definitive conclusions until the full details are clarified.
However, if such reports are confirmed, the potential consequences can be examined at three levels: domestic, regional, and international.
1. Domestic Level:
According to the Constitution of the “Islamic Republic of Iran”, in the event of the Supreme Leader’s absence, the Assembly of Experts is tasked with appointing a successor. This process may be accompanied by political activity, intra-structural competition, and a period of uncertainty or tension.
2. Regional Level:
Iran is a key actor in Middle Eastern dynamics. Any change at the top of the power hierarchy could affect bilateral relations with regional countries, alliance structures, and political and security developments.
3. International Level:
The global oil market, nuclear negotiations, and Iran’s relations with world powers may enter a new phase. Short-term fluctuations in financial and energy markets are also possible.
Conclusion
If the report is officially confirmed, likely scenarios include:
• Initiation of the official succession process in Iran
• Potential short-term political tensions domestically
• Increased regional sensitivities and tensions
• Immediate reactions from influential global powers
• Volatility in energy markets and the international economy
Finally, it is emphasized that analyzing current developments requires access to precise and verified information, and any definitive evaluation must be based on official and reliable data.

STATEMENT OF THE ANARCHIST FRONT REGARDING THE NEWS OF THE DEATH OF ALI KHAMENEI
Based on reports from news agencies and reputable global media, as well as confirmation by the official networks of the “Islamic Republic of Iran,” Ali Khamenei has been killed during joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.
The large-scale air attack, initiated by the military forces of the United States of America and Israel on February 28, 2026, targeted a series of military-security and governmental sites in Tehran and other parts of Iran with heavy strikes, in which approximately 30 political leaders and senior military commanders, including Ali Khamenei, were fatally targeted. An unprecedented event that marked the end of one of the longest contemporary religious dictatorships and can be regarded as a symbol of the collapse of authoritarian structures and the concentration of absolute power within an Islamic-Shiite ideological system.
Ali Hosseini Khamenei (April 19, 1939 – February 28, 2026) was the ultimate commander of the religious and political government in Iran for more than 36 years and continued the structures of repression and despotism after Ruhollah Khomeini. He marginalized social freedoms and crushed any form of popular protest inside the country by massacring several thousand protesting individuals, both young and adult, shedding their blood.
Regional tensions had sharply escalated in recent months. The background to these attacks was the disputes over Tehran’s nuclear program, missile activities, and regional support policies with Washington and Tel Aviv reaching their peak. Western governments described the ruling government in Iran as an “intolerable threat” to regional stability and international security. Sanctions and economic pressures, alongside the suppression of domestic protests, had placed Iran’s system under severe and deep political-economic crises that continue to this day.
This historic moment can mark the beginning of a radical movement to end the authority of the Islamic government and all states. Our focus, as a anarchist front that has risen to struggle against every form of exploitation, authority, and despotism — not only in Iran but throughout the world — must be to use every opportunity to expand horizontal self-organization, solidarity, mutual aid, and to achieve real freedom, equality, and justice.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now passed the 24-hour mark with national connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels.
The measure limits civic engagement at a key moment for the country's future after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei in US and Israeli airstrikes.

News from the second day of war
💢 The risk of mass executions of detainees from the January 2026 protests is serious
The human rights organization Dadban has issued a serious warning regarding the situation of detainees from the January 2026 protests in Iran, emphasizing that there is a risk of mass executions carried out as acts of retaliation.
Referring to the historical experience of periods of political and security crises in Iran, Dadban stated that any unusual acceleration in handling cases, the issuance of broad or generic indictments, and restricting detainees’ access to lawyers may serve as warning signs of rushed actions.
The non-governmental organization also stressed the importance of continuous monitoring and a rapid response by human rights lawyers, calling for immediate and documented reporting on developments in prisons and courts in order to prevent threats to detainees’ lives and violations of their rights.
The organization warned that silence and lack of information in such critical circumstances will pave the way for broader and more severe human rights violations.
The New York Times, on Sunday evening, citing a U.S. official, reported that the United States and Israel, in the operation against Iran that began at dawn on Saturday, have so far struck more than two thousand targets.
Donald Trump, on Sunday, in an interview with the “Daily Mail,” stated that these attacks will likely continue for up to four weeks.
News from the third day of war
⚡️ The governments of the United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, in a joint statement, condemned the missile and drone attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against countries in the region. The statement says that these attacks targeted sovereign territories, endangered civilian lives, and damaged non-military infrastructure.
The statement adds that “the actions of the Islamic Republic represent a dangerous escalation of tensions, violate the sovereignty of several countries, and threaten regional stability.”
These countries emphasized their right to self-defense and the importance of regional cooperation in air and missile defense, stating that they are united in defending their citizens, sovereignty, and national territory.

Revolutionary Guards Transfer Protest Detainees to Military Bases
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have reportedly transferred detainees from the recent protests from Evin Prison to their own military bases, allegedly in an effort to protect their personnel. Activists are calling for urgent international attention.
According to a video circulated on social media, detainees from protests in Eastern Kurdistan and other parts of Iran have been forcibly moved to Revolutionary Guard military facilities, reportedly to deter potential strikes on those sites.
Among the transferred detainees are said to be numerous women and minors. Sources claim the Revolutionary Guards believe that the presence of detainees could discourage the United States and Israel from targeting these locations.
Activists and social media users have described the move as extremely dangerous and a serious violation of prisoners’ rights, urging the international community to take immediate action to ensure the protection of detainees from Evin Prison.
Iranian authorities have not yet provided any official explanation for the transfers. Meanwhile, the Committee for the Freedom of Political Prisoners has stated that security personnel have reportedly abandoned Evin Prison and that conditions inside have become critical: food distribution has allegedly stopped and all forms of communication have been cut off.

Report, 2 March 2026: Bombardment of the city of Tehran on the third day of extremely intense military–aerial attacks by joint U.S.–Israeli forces.
U.S. Secretary of Defense “Pete Hegseth” stated today in a news leak, among other things: “The operation against Iran is being carried out directly on the orders of Donald Trump… This is not an endless war for establishing democracy and regime change; rather, it is to destroy missile and naval capabilities and other security infrastructures… U.S. attacks are conducted precisely and extensively…”
However, the actual evidence so far has shown that, in addition to the destruction of part of the polis corps and military-security infrastructure of the ruling Islamic-Shiite fascist government of Iran, a large number of ordinary people and children have also been killed and injured as a result of the destruction of residential and primary school buildings.
Within the capitalist-imperialist system, one of the important sources of financial-commercial income — especially for the military-arms industries — is the outbreak and creation of destructive and devastating “wars,” because “peace” does not bring much benefit to them.
@netblocks: “Iran's internet blackout has now surpassed 60 hours, leaving its population of 90 million out of touch as war spreads.
Shutdowns are a go-to tactic for the regime, with the previous instance in January lasting several weeks and masking severe human rights violations”.

Shout of the cameraman during the bombardment:
“The building shook. You scoundrel, three rockets came one after another, did you see? No one is even in the houses; everyone has fled. It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming — there, do you see them? It’s coming, it’s coming! The missile is coming from here, from the left! It’s coming, it’s coming! It’s coming from here, from here!”

SOLIDARITY STATEMENT FROM OUR COMRADES IN SUDAN
The Anarchist Group in Sudan
We are following with concern the escalating criminal behavior of the international regimes between Israel, the United States, and Iran. In reality, this conflict is deeper than its media presentation; it is an attempt to drag the entire region into a senseless war in which the peoples will become victims of authoritarian regimes and of global imperialism’s attempts to dominate in new ways.
It is the right of peoples to change their political systems themselves, not for another state to do so in order to strengthen its allies. What the United States seeks in this region is a new ally that will facilitate the exploitation of resources, the control of peoples, and the suppression of resistance movements.
Resistance to imperialism under dictatorship is nothing but a new form of dictatorship. While we condemn the fascist Iranian regime and stand in solidarity with the peoples striving for freedom, we affirm that Israeli intervention in the region and its consequences amount to nothing more than replacing Iranian dictatorship with American dictatorship.
From our complex position, at a time when a senseless imperialist war—supported by the same Iranian and American alliances—looms, we in the group firmly reject the control of peoples under the pretext of bringing them freedom. Peoples seize their freedom themselves; no one does it for them.
We call on comrades around the world to unite and stand in solidarity with comrades in Iran and Lebanon. We tell our comrades in Iran and Lebanon that despite our difficult situation, we are following the developments on your side, our hearts are with you, and our homes are open to you if needed. We will do everything we can to cooperate with you.
Long live the struggle of the liberation movement across the world.
No to imperialist war.

Statement Against Targeting Public Places and Schools
Based on reports published by international media and human rights organizations, a large portion of recent attacks have been directed at high-ranking military and security figures within the Islamic Republic of Iran’s structure. However, the harsh reality of war is that even when “military targets” are declared, civilians also become victims.
In recent days, schools and medical centers have also been struck by rockets and airstrikes. This may be the result of human error, intelligence mistakes, or disregard for civilian lives in the logic of war. But for a family that has lost its child, the reason does not matter much. The result is the same: human lives are lost.
According to statistics published by international sources, hundreds of civilians have been killed in Iran. In Israel and some other countries in the region, civilians have also lost their lives. Each number in these statistics represents a life, a story, a whole world.
We stand with no government, no army, and no power bloc in this war.
We stand with the people.
We stand in solidarity with the children who lost their lives in schools in Minab.
We stand with the nurses who work in damaged hospitals.
With families who wake up at night to the sound of explosions.
War, even when justified under the name of “security” or “deterrence,” ultimately threatens the lives of ordinary people. Power structures may be rebuilt, but lost lives never return.
We demand:
Full protection of civilians under international humanitarian law.
Independent investigation into attacks on public places.
Immediate cessation of any attacks that threaten civilian lives.
We demand accountability from all parties involved in the conflict.
Our solidarity goes beyond borders.
Human lives have no nationality.
No child should be a target of attack.
No hospital should become a battlefield.
In hope of a day when people of the region can live without the shadow of tyranny, missiles, and sanctions.
In hope of the dawn of freedom for Iranians in this year’s Nowruz.
