America: We use every lever in Afghanistan

According to the regional office of Tasnim news agency, “Matthew Miller”, the spokesperson of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in a press conference that we will use any leverage to return “Ryan Corbett” and other American citizens who are detained in Afghanistan.

He added, “We have continuously pressed, including in meetings with Taliban representatives, for the immediate and unconditional release of Ryan Corbett and other Americans detained in Afghanistan.”

The spokesperson of the US State Department said that Washington has emphasized to the Taliban government that the detention of American citizens is an important obstacle to positive interaction.

“Michael McCall,” the chairman of the foreign relations committee of the US House of Representatives, also stated earlier in a statement that American citizen Corbett, who is imprisoned in Afghanistan, should be released as soon as possible. Joe Biden's administration has done nothing to free him.

It is said that Ryan Corbett, an American citizen, is being held by the Taliban government on charges of spying for Washington.

The number of American prisoners in Afghanistan is not known, but not long ago, “Habibullah Badr”, the military deputy of the Taliban government's prisons management department, announced that the number of foreign prisoners in Taliban prisons was 25.

The end of the message.
