Iran have been helping with terrorists actually according to @/PanzerKiel.
Perhaps a different ethnicity in power... like Tajik or Hazara? Is this possible?
I don’t see what’s to like there. Creating a dozen new squads/forces doesn’t address the underlying issues.
Annexing the whole of Afghanistan is pointless, and not doable given our resources. However, in case of a war, annexation of Wakhan corridor is very viable under the pretext of buffer zone. It is a thin strip of land handed over to Afghans to create a buffer between British India and Russia. It is practically unpopulated. Should it happen, it will secure a route to central Asia. Its border with Afghanistan would also be tiny.
Why? Just claim security buffer much like Israel, Morocco, Turkey and others do.
Yes, that was in response to @Arsalan345 who wanted the whole of Afghanistan annexed. Which is only possible if the people themselves want to merge, otherwise it will just bring more problems.

They are two sides of the same coin. They intermarried.

We all know that IEA/TTP are one in the same. They have the same ideology, are the same ethnicity, are from the same tribes, and hail from the same regions along the Pak-Afghan border. They are literally brothers and have fought alongside each other whether it was against soviets or americans. No one truly expects them to act harshly against the TTP like how they are acting against IS-K, Al Qaeda, and other terror groups. What we want is for IEA to gradually convince TTP for-hire jihadis to shift their focus away from Pakistan as it is a futile effort. They can do whatever the hell they want with TTP as long as TTP does not carry out cross-border attacks. The TTP insurgency within Pakistan will be dealt with by IBO's and other operations. Why can't the IEA integrate the TTP within their own ranks and convince them to contribute to afghan security, law, economy, etc. Tell them to put their guns down because fighting Pakistani muslims is not jihad.
They were conquered by the British, Soviets, Americans and as they allege, the Pakistanis through proxy. In fact, they're still salty about having KPK being conquered by the British and don't recognize the durrand line after 100 years.
