Mehrabian arrived in Kabul on Wednesday to discuss Iran's Water rights from the Helmand River (Hirmand) with the Afghan side.
Iran is concerned about the country's water share from the Helmand River and the Afghan side has agreed with Iran's water rights, Mehrabian said recently, adding that this is a positive step, but it is not enough at all.
