Taliban official dismisses Trump's hope to 'take back' Afghan airbase

The article discusses the recent comments made by a Taliban official regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump's hopes of "taking back" the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. According to the article, the Bagram airbase, a former U.S. military base, was handed over to the Afghan military shortly before the Taliban regained control of the country.

The article highlights the Taliban's firm stance on the matter, emphasizing their assertion that the airbase is firmly in their possession and that they will not relinquish it to the U.S. or any other foreign power.
