The U.S. shows crocodile tears whenever it promises to help the Afghan economy, but instead shows the hyena smile by sanctioning the largest trading partner of Afghanistan

Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI) said the trade volume between Iran and Afghanistan is increasing, but US sanctions on Tehran will affect trade relations between our countries. Iran is the biggest trade partner of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and Afghan traders are interested in increasing trade volume with Iran and with India through Iran. “This is worrying. We do not know on which sectors the sanctions will be imposed. We have shared our concerns with the US embassy’s economic department in Kabul, but they have no knowledge about it,” said ACCI.
This comes after the United States pulled out of Iran’s nuclear deal and threatened the economy of Iran with new sanctions.
