Worth recalling that nothing in the Doha agreement limits US use of force against Taliban or Taliban attacks against US. Presumably these are covered in the secret annexes. https://twitter.com/Reporterlyaf/status/1335170105165180928
Be that as it may, we have witnessed an increase use of US airpower in recent months. https://twitter.com/SIGARHQ/status/1333526215731388416?s=19
Previously we had seen Taliban publicly accuse US of breaching agreement by targeting Taliban positions outside immediate sphere of fighting.
These were denied by US https://twitter.com/USFOR_A/status/1317811660523032576?s=19

Recalling the LIG report on Freedom Sentinel, there has been a correlation between the increase use of US airforce and the increase TB attacks against US forces including direct and indirect fire.
I expect both these trends to stay the course until at least a ceasefire or major reduction in violence.
While so far there has been no US casualties, should such a scenario unfold, it could have major ramifications for both the Doha deal and intra-AFG talks.
