WASHINGTON (92 News) - US State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller has said that the Taliban have the responsibility to prevent Afghanistan from being used as a safe haven for launching terrorist attacks.

He was responding to a query during a weekly briefing regarding Corps Commanders’ Conference in Pakistan which urged Afghanistan to take care of the terrorist sanctuaries there which are coming and doing activities in Pakistan.

To another question that the Iranian government has started a new crackdown for hijab ahead of the death anniversary of Mahsa Amini,

Miller said: "We are concerned by the reports that Iran’s so-called morality police are cracking – again cracking down to enforce mandatory hijab. It seems the regime has learned nothing from the recent protests. And we believe that women and girls everywhere should be allowed to wear what they want."
