Iran protests Afghanistan's dam project, claiming it violates water treaties and restricts flow.

Iran has protested against Afghanistan's Pashdan Dam project on the Harirud River, claiming it restricts water flow and may violate treaties. The dam, nearing completion, can store 54 million cubic meters of water and irrigate 13,000 hectares. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, urges Afghanistan to respect water rights and remove any obstacles to the river's flow, highlighting the countries' shared 900-kilometer border and history of water rights tension.
