General Mackenzie: By keeping troops in Afghanistan, we were safe

According to the regional office of Tasnim news agency, General Kenneth McKenzie, the former commander of the Central Command Staff The US Army (CENTCOM) stated in a conversation with “ABC News” that if we had kept 2,500 soldiers in Afghanistan along with other NATO members, we would be more secure now and they would be fighting ISIS.

He added that the ISIS terrorist group uses online methods to organize attacks, which is a threat to the future of the world. McKenzie claimed that Daesh is not under pressure in Afghanistan, so it is seeking to achieve goals that will carry out attacks not only in Russia but also in America and other countries. He also said that if pressure is applied against ISIS centers, they will not be able to carry out attacks, but unfortunately, America has not maintained this necessary pressure on ISIS. According to some American officials, he announced that al-Qaeda and ISIS in Afghanistan are weakened and under pressure.

On the other hand, the Afghan media “Nantaki Asia” also wrote in an article a while ago: America, after losing the war in Afghanistan and fleeing this country, is trying to use a tool to use the name of ISIS as a proxy force against its regional rivals. After the fall of the republic, the situation in Afghanistan was faced with various crises, and that is why the existing gaps have become the basis for the existence of ISIS in some areas of the country.
