No wonder why you guys triggered falcon29 now it all makes sense.. you have to much delulu and wishful thinkings. Iran can't do shit for Taliban nor Afghanistan except a trading partner. House is full already Turkey-Pakistan influence zone. You have trade as you border there but that is as much as the good will goes..
Lol at Russia willing to assist? They have an agreement to secure Tajikstan border due to CSTO if it spilds over to the Tajikistan territory like Armenia it only extends to Tajikistan mainland CSTO.. Russia won't cross Pakistan
What are you trying to suggest? That the Taliban are going to disregard Iran's concerns or worse, choose to pose a threat to Iran? No, they won't, because that would imply Iran throwing her full weight behind a host of factions that have issues with the Taliban, and Afghanistan being the relatively fractured society it still is, and Iran having experience in establishing networks of allies there since the war against Soviet occupiers in the 80's, this is what would occur.
However, that's not what the Taliban want. They're not interested in another three or four decades of war either. Which is why they've made all these overtures towards Iran and have given Tehran concrete assurances on what matters most to Iran, namely:
1) Not to create any direct security threats for Iran.
2) Not to host nor support any anti-Iranian terrorist proxies either.
3) To try and find a political power sharing understanding with Iran's local allies, instead of fighting them.
4) Not to think of harming Afghan Moslem Shia civilian populations.
5) Cooperate with Iran against "I"SIS-K.
And if you believe Russia is going to easily allow a regime to take over in Kabul that is hostile to Moscow's interests, then you're the one having delusions. And that too, the Taliban are aware of. Hence why they are mindful of not "crossing" Russia either.

Any third country in Afghanistan be it Russian, Indian or turkish are in Afghanistan if Iran and Pakistan agree to that..like it or not it is cultural affinity of Afghan people with the two nations of iran and Pakistan that will be at work..just watch some Afghan TV...and by the way 3 million Afghans live in iran work in iran and their children go to school in iran and they have free health care also.
The total of legal and illegal Afghan residents in Iran, is actually as high as 4 million. That's slightly more than 10% of Afghanistan's population.
Those with little to no knowledge of the Afghan issue seem to be stuck in the 1990's, believing this is a zero sum game between a supposed Pakistan-Taliban axis and the rest. In reality, none of the sides is under the delusion that anything but power sharing will be possible barring many more years of war and instability that will risk spilling over borders - which thankfully, none of the actors with a direct stake in this wants.
You are overestimating here way to much.. Give allowance to anyone? If that was the case you would have asked everyone to leave Azerbaijan and Iraq.. You don't have that influence anywhere period..
