World Bank says Afghanistan’s economy increasingly dependent on Iran trade routes
2026-07-08
A dangerous dependency at the moment, which couldn’t happen to a more deserving conqueror.
[KhaamaPress] Afghanistan has become increasingly dependent on Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

Per-capita income continued to fall as rapid population growth, driven largely by the return of nearly 3.7 million Afghan migrants colonists from Iran and Pakistain, outpaced economic expansion.

The World Bank also reported a 17% decline in exports in May compared with the previous month, while imports of machinery and other investment goods remained sharply lower, reflecting weak private-sector investment and continued financial constraints. It said India’s remained the largest export destination, while trade has increasingly shifted toward Iran after repeated disruptions at border crossings with Pakistain.

The report warned that Afghanistan remains heavily dependent on a narrow export base and external trade routes at a time when humanitarian needs remain severe. Aid reductions, high unemployment and limited access to international finance continue to weigh on the economy despite relative currency stability and steady domestic revenue collection.
