Many people are saying opium/poppies.

But the main reason is for the coming war with Iran.

It is a very mountainous and rugged country. Making it very easy for Iran to defend. To defeat them the US/NATO/EU/Saudi Arabia/the Kurds will need every advantage they can get.

Afghanistan provides a safe place for bases on Iran's Eastern border. And the ability to attack from there.

You can go into all the finer details of it, but in the end they need bases on Iran's Eastern border for the coming war with Iran.
