In Afghanistan, the Taliban has taken control of the city of Ghazni, the 10th provincial capital to fall to the Taliban in under a week. Ghazni is less than 100 miles from the Afghan capital Kabul. The Washington Post reports U.S. intelligence officials are predicting Kabul could fall to the Taliban within one to three months. This week, the Biden administration launched a last-ditch effort to convince the Taliban it would face international condemnation if it takes all of Afghanistan by force.
