Iran Press/ America: The departures will be among the first international flights to take off from Kabul Airport since the Taliban group seized the capital in mid-August, triggering the chaotic U.S.-led evacuation of 124,000 foreigners and at-risk Afghans, Reuters reported.
The move comes two days after the Taliban announced a caretaker government made up mainly of ethnic Pashtun men, dashing international hopes for a more moderate administration.
The Taliban were pressed to allow the departures by U.S. Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. official said, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
