Iran Stands against U.S. Military Presence in Afghanistan
Tehran, June 21 (KCNA) -- The Iranian minister of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics in an interview with a TV on June 18 slashed at the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.

The U.S. has claimed that its forces ensure security in Afghanistan, but action is contrary to this assertion, he said, adding that the security of the country has gone from bad to worse since the U.S. military presence there.

The U.S. keeps its forces in different parts of the world, but such military presence does never contribute to ensuring the security, he said.
