Afghanistan: The announcement comes in response to a recent UN Security Council report that claimed the Taliban was finding it difficult to "reverse its gains" due to the terrorist group's growing presence in northern and eastern Afghanistan.

The Taliban have claimed that some nations are exaggerating the threat posed by Daesh in Afghanistan because they have "secret objectives".
The announcement comes in response to a recent UN Security Council report indicating that Daesh is increasing its presence in the country's northern and eastern regions.

He also said that those in "intelligence circles" are interested in bringing instability to the nation.
According to a report by the UNSC's Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team on July 15, Daesh sees Afghanistan, which it controls through its Khorasan ally, as a base from which to complete its ambitious caliphate project. to be expanded to a wider area.

The UNSC report said the attack was aimed at "attracting new recruits from the region" and "undermining the credibility of Taliban security forces by demonstrating their inability to control borders".

The report said that "one member state reported the defection of 50 Uyghur fighters from ETIM to [Daesh-Khorasan]."

The organization, which often targets Pakistani military and police forces, is currently engaged in peace talks with the Pakistani government, according to a video made public in June by TTP leader Noor Wali Mehsud.
According to the UN team report, the leadership of Daesh, which is reportedly still based in Iraq, is said to control approximately $2.5 million in reserves. Additionally, it notes that despite efforts by the international community to reduce terrorism financing, the group's control over the funding network remained largely unaffected.

According to the United Nations, Daesh attacks in Afghanistan have killed nearly 700 people since the Taliban took control of the country last August. Terrorists have used suicide bombings primarily to target schools, as well as religious and racial minorities.
