In an interview with Al Arabiya English, Mujahid said: “Bagram is part of Afghanistan’s territory. The comments came in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent warning that “bad things” would happen if Afghanistan refused to return the base. “For twenty years under US occupation, Afghanistan experienced ‘bad things’ – not for a day, but continuously for two decades. Mujahid however dismissed the claim as factually incorrect and reiterated that Afghanistan will not allow its soil to become a battlefield between rival powers. Mujahid emphasized that while Afghanistan seeks constructive engagement with Washington, any attempts to reclaim Bagram would be unacceptable.
