The Afghanistan Presidential Office has issued orders to the Foreign Ministry to investigate the allegation that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards is forcing Afghan citizens to go to Syria and fight on behalf of Syrian dictator, Bashar Assad.

The Afghan Foreign Ministry is now missioned to investigate the number of Afghans sent to Syria and how they are dispatched, to make contact with all countries and networks, and finally prepare a detailed report.
