KABUL: The Afghan government warned Iran on Wednesday against “irresponsible comments” following Tehran´s criticism last week of an upstream dam being built by its neighbour. Water rights have long been a source of friction in ties between the two countries, which share a more than 900-kms border.
Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesman for the Iranian foreign ministry, voiced “strong protest” on Friday over the “disproportionate restriction of water entering Iran” due to the Pashdan Dam on the Harirud River, adding that the project could be in violation of bilateral treaties.
