Unverified reports from sources within the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan indicate that a high-level meeting was convened by Emir Hibatullah Akhundzada and the Taliban leadership council to address rising internal tensions following the United States designation of Afghanistan as a wrongful detention country. Attendees reportedly included Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, and Sirajuddin Haqqani, though some senior leaders did not participate, signaling possible rifts within the leadership. The discussions allegedly focused on growing international pressure. The sources suggest that while India is mentioned in these concerns, any action by India would be limited if the United States exerts strong pressure, reflecting past dynamics with Russia and other actors that imply India may not provide full support under such circumstances. Some factions proposed temporary measures against Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to ease pressure and stabilize the government, while others warned that such steps could affect financial and political support from regional partners like India. The disagreements are said to have increased anxiety within the leadership, with warnings that mishandling the situation could create further instability within the current governing structure.
