The Telegraph newspaper has reported that the Taliban have handed over three Afghan individuals to Iran, accusing them of collaborating with the British government.
According to the report, this transfer was part of a secret agreement between the Taliban and Iran aimed at identifying and apprehending individuals who had previously cooperated with British forces in Afghanistan.
The report states that these three individuals were on a list of people who had applied for asylum in the UK. That list also includes names of those who worked with the British military, special forces, and intelligence services.
It is also reported that Iran is attempting to gain access to a “kill list” of members of the British intelligence agency MI6 and special forces.
The Telegraph further claims that the Taliban are using these individuals as leverage to gain international legitimacy for their regime.
The report adds that in recent weeks, the Taliban have arrested at least 13 people from this list in Kandahar and shared their information with Iranian intelligence
