In response to escalating tensions with Pakistan, the Taliban government of Afghanistan has shifted the country's export focus to Iran's Chabahar Port. This strategic move is part of Afghanistan's broader effort to diversify its trade routes and reduce reliance on Pakistan, amidst ongoing economic discussions between Pakistan and Afghan Taliban forces. Afghanistan has recently invested 35 million dollars in the Chabahar Port, indicating a significant commitment to this new trade corridor. The decision comes as Pakistan faces potential economic losses due to the redirection of Afghan exports, which previously benefited from transit through Pakistan. The Afghan Taliban regime's Ministry of Industry & Commerce highlighted that a substantial portion of the country's exports and imports are now being conducted through Chabahar Port. Additionally, the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI) has expressed a desire to decrease trade dependency on Pakistan.

Pakistan is trying to talk economics with jihadis while simultaneously shooting itself in the foot (Pakistan gets money for the transit, if it is blocked then India & Taliban have the option of Chabahar route while Pakistan gets diddly & TTP continues its attacks.
