Taliban caught with Iranian rocket shipment

[graveyardofempires]

i dont think u understand here. iran doesnt want the taliban to achieve its goals. giving them some rockets and guns and money isnt going to topple the karzai govt or expel nato, but its enough to give them trouble. thats what iran wants, to stir up trouble for the americans, like they did in iraq. this is not the late 90s when iran had thousands of troops on the border and ready to invade afg. hell, even mullah omar in his messages has said that he wants good relations with afghanistans neighbors.

since taliban probably need anything they can get wouldnt this come in handy to come closer to their goals?what trouble did iran cause in Iraq?

u can google the articles, they are out there.

if u were to say in the early 90s that hekmatyar would of ended up living in iran for 5 years in exile, people would of called u crazy.

its not exactly a knock on the talibs for them receiving weapons from a foreign force. guerrilla wars are never really sustainable in the long term without outside help, u gotta do what u gotta do. hekmatyar was receiving 10s of millions in american arms in the 80s while he publicly hated america.

do u think iran cares about the taliban or their end game? iran has men in power in kabul on one hand for an insurance policy, and are arming the talibs in the west to give nato problems. like i said, they are receiving the basics here, iran obviously isnt sending them anything advanced that would be a game changer.

and iran gave americans problems in iraq by arming, training and sheltering the shia groups.

so are they giving weapons only to the taliban in the west or all over the country?

the shias in iraq helped invade the country.

as far as i understand, irans involvement has only been in the west of the country. i could be wrong. like i said, their involvement isnt a game changer, its just something to help bleed the americans.

the mahdi army in iraq has been involved in the fighting against the americans.

This is another ,,fake news,,just to pull iran into this conflect.
Why would iran support them?
Iranains men fully enjoy the power in kabul.
Iran backed N/A and Ismail Khan of herat.
