Video From 2021 Being Spread as Iran-Afghanistan Escalation
Published 1 years ago
Video first reported on by France24 in 2021 shows a massive tunnel bomb being utilized to attack an Afghan Army base in Afghanistan. This video is currently being spread as new footage from recent clashes between the Iranians and Taliban that sparked over water rights to the Helmand River.
We here at Funker530 we don't claim to be perfect. Since 2009 when this project started, we've made a decent number of mistakes ourselves. That said, if you're seeing this video circulating on Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, or Facebook with a caption that reads something to the tune of "Taliban forces hit Iranian outpost with airstrike," than just know that it's wrong.
This video was first recorded in 2021 by the Taliban as they were attacking Afghan Army outposts. It specifically shows a tunnel bomb being detonated underneath of an outpost in the Ghazni region of Afghanistan. I specifically recognize this video because Will an I had an entire conversation about deadly bird poop when it was initially released. It was first published by Wassim Nasr on Twitter, who is an analyst and journalist for France24.
This video has nothing to do with the still developing situation between Iran and Afghanistan.
