Iran arms Taliban says Petraeus with no evidence
Iran ¨sends arms to the Taliban in Afghanistan¨ says General Petreus, with no evidence, despite the fact that Iran opened its airspace for the US attack on the Taliban in 2001, and secured Northern Alliance help to attack the Taliban on the ground for the US.
“It undermines Lebanese hopes for peace by arming and aiding the terrorist group Hezbollah,” he added. “It subverts the hopes for peace in other parts of the region by funding terrorist groups like Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad. It sends arms to the Taliban in Afghanistan and Shia militants in Iraq. It seeks to intimidate its neighbors with ballistic missiles and bellicose rhetoric. And finally, it defies the United Nations and destabilizes the region by refusing to be open and transparent about its nuclear programs and ambitions.”
