    Rasoul Mousavi, the director general of the West Asia department at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, confirmed he held talks with the caretaker of Afghanistan’s embassy in Tehran, Abdul Qayyum Soleimani, about the recent Taliban announcement.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry official expressed Iran’s readiness to provide university education for Afghan women after the Taliban authorities implemented a nationwide ban on university education.

On Tuesday, Taliban authorities implemented a nationwide ban on university education for women, a move that comes just three months after thousands of women sat for entrance examinations for higher education across the country.

On Twitter, Rasoul Mousavi, the director general of the West Asia department at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, confirmed he held talks with the caretaker of Afghanistan’s embassy in Tehran, Abdul Qayyum Soleimani, about the recent Taliban announcement.

Iran condemns Taliban's decision to deprive women of university education

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani expressed on Thursday disapproval of the Taliban's decision to suspend university education for women students in Afghanistan. 

"The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a neighbor of Afghanistan that favors peace, stability, and development in that country, is sorry to hear about the obstacles being put in the way of university education for girls and women in Afghanistan," Kanaani said in a statement.

The Iranian Spokesperson said Tehran hopes that those in charge would immediately lift the ban and allow Afghan women to access education at schools and universities, so that female students would enjoy the right to education and assume a more active role in Afghanistan's development and prosperity.

Right after the Taliban took over power in Afghanistan, universities were ordered to implement new regulations that prohibited gender mixing in classrooms and entrances.

Prior to this announcement, there was already a ban set in place on girls' secondary education, which had already caused severely limited access to higher education.

Some officials said the ban was only temporary - that time was further needed to reform the syllabus according to Islamic principles.

Others have cited the lack of funds as another reason for the school closures.
