NYT retrospective marks 25 years of Afghanistan conflict, from 9/11 to Taliban return

The New York Times publishes a photo retrospective covering 25 years of the Afghanistan conflict, from the post-9/11 invasion to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal and Taliban resurgence. The item is a media retrospective, not a new development, but it underscores the enduring legacy and unresolved state of the conflict. It signals continued public and media focus on Afghanistan's trajectory under Taliban rule.
