Tehran 02 March_Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said the US is leaving Afghanistan after two decades of "humiliation" following a so-called peace deal between the Taliban and the United States.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_"US occupiers should've never invaded Afghanistan. But they did, and blamed everyone else for consequences," Zairf said in a tweet on Sunday.
"Now after 19 years of humiliation, US has tendered its surrender," he added.
The foreign minister noted that US military presence has been a source of suffering for Afghanistan and other countries such Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
"It will leave—while leaving huge mess behind," he added.
On Saturday, the United States and the Taliban signed an agreement aimed at paving the way for a complete withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, effectively ending what many have described as America's "longest war".

It will leave—while leaving huge mess behind
On Saturday, the United States and the Taliban signed an agreement aimed at paving the way for a complete withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, effectively ending what many have described as America's "longest war".
Under the deal, the Taliban will sever ties with al-Qaeda and other terror groups and sit down for peace talks with the Afghan government. In return, Washington will start a phased withdrawal of troops.
The Afghan government did not take part in talks which led to the deal.
Earlier on Sunday, Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that the pact was an attempt by Washington to justify its illegal presence in Afghanistan.
