Gen Ekramuddin Sari Ikramuddin Sari Ekramuddin Saree Ikramuddin Saree, a former police commander in Afghanistan’s Takhar and Baghlan provinces under the pre-Taliban republic, was shot dead on the evening of December 24, 2025, outside his office in Tehran.
Saree is the second anti-Taliban figure killed in Iran in recent months.
In September, Maruf Gholami, a commander close to Ismail Khan and living in Mashhad, was gunned down by armed men. Khan, a former warlord and governor of Herat Province who fled to Iran after the Taliban takeover, demanded justice from Tehran.
Saree served as Baghlan police chief from 2017 to 2019 and then Takhar chief under then-Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. He fled to Iran after the 2021 Taliban takeover, advocating that former Afghan military personnel seeking residency should avoid deportation.
