BERLIN: The Islamic Republic of Iran will not allow NATO to use its territory to transit non-military supplies to war-stricken Afghanistan, a senior Iranian legislator announced here.
Talking at a press briefing at the Iranian Embassy in Berlin, Alaeddin Boroujerdi said, "Iran is not interested in becoming a logistic bridge for NATO to Afghanistan."
Boroujerdi reiterated Iran's principled opposition to NATO's presence in Iran.
He made clear that the western military alliance had no place in Afghanistan for a "permanent presence" in the country.
The Iranian MP urged NATO to come up with an exit strategy for Afghanistan.
He added that the continuing deployment of NATO would only "lead to more extremism and terrorism."
