| Abstract: This study aimed to the dispute over transboundary waters between Afghanistan and Iran is expected to escalate to dangerously serious levels. A predicted future, though, is not the same as empirical proof. The impact of the construction of the Kamal Khan Dam is the main topic of this research. Kamal Khan dam main objective was attempts to investigate how the hydro political ties between Iran and Afghanistan have changed over the course of the last century, and also, to regulate seasonal floods, The Afghani government is frequently asked by the Iranian administration to deliver additional water towards Iran. Following Timur's siege on the area, the ancient dam was destroyed, and Iran has since attacked this dam numerous times in contemporary times. Even though there is a clear divide between the two parties when it comes to water management, the historical analysis in the paper demonstrates that the alarming assertions are unfounded and distort the hydro political relations as they function within a larger geopolitical landscape. The research comes to the conclusion that shift in the geopolitical dynamics between Afghanistan and Iran and the development of a shared identity over the Helmand River Basin are consequently prerequisites for increased water cooperation | ||
