"Forces: Iranian Forces In Afghanistan"

The eternal struggle within Islam. Shia versus Sunni. Hazara people Afghan nationals profess Shia and are despised [?] by the Afghan Sunni majority including the Taliban.

"August 6, 2021: Iranian media reports that Iran is establishing explicitly Iran-backed Shia militias in western Afghanistan. Iran wants to protect the Shia minority (about 20 percent of Afghans) from the expanding reach of the Taliban. In the late 1990s the Taliban went after Afghan Shia in a big way and the victims have not forgotten. The new militias are composed of combat experienced Afghan Shia who served as Iranian mercenaries and survived combat in Syria."

Indeed. Shia Hazara proxy para-military evidently have seen extensive combat action in the Syrian Civil war. See previous blog entries as germane:
