Iran�s outgoing foreign minister says the US and NATO only sought their �own interests� in invading Afghanistan, stressing that they need to compensate for the losses they imposed on the country and failing to achieve their objectives. ���

In a post on his official Twitter page on Wednesday, Mohammad Javad Zarif hit out at Washington and the US-led military alliance of NATO for boasting about their efforts to help democracy and war on terror, saying the events in Afghanistan proved they even failed in their declared bid.

�For all their talk of democracy & War on Terror, events in Afghanistan & statements by US & NATO officials prove: They invaded & occupied Afghanistan & elsewhere ONLY to pursue their own interests�but couldn't even achieve that. US/NATO now have clear obligation to compensate,� read the tweet.
