US President Joe Biden warned the Taliban that any action "that puts US personnel or our mission at risk there, will be met with a swift and strong US military response," announcing that he would not pass this war onto any coming president.

Earlier, Biden revealed that after consultations with his national security team, it was decided to deploy approximately 5,000 US soldiers – up from 3,000 – to organize evacuations and the end of the US mission after 20 years on the ground. 

The US President again defended his decision to withdraw the US army from Afghanistan, saying: "I am the fourth president to hold the position in light of the presence of US forces in Afghanistan."

"I was the fourth president to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan -- two Republicans, two Democrats. I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth," Biden said.

A local official declared that the Movement took control of Mazar-i-Sharif, the fourth largest city in the country and the last stronghold of the Afghan government in the north of the country.

In the meantime, the "Taliban" continues to advance in Afghanistan and control the centers of new provinces, cutting off power in the capital, Kabul.

At the same time, the US Air Force has declared that is had dispatched military transport aircraft to Afghanistan to "evacuate thousands of Americans" and to salvage equipment and weapons before Kabul falls into the hands of the Taliban.

It is worth mentioning that on Friday, the US embassy staff in the Afghan capital, Kabul, were asked to destroy sensitive documents, confirming that the Biden administration is preparing for the Taliban’s possible invasion of the embassy despite public assurances that the building is still operational, according to Bloomberg.
