From The New York Times:KABUL (Reuters) - Iran has become the main transit route for militants trying to join insurgents in Afghanistan, an Afghan government daily said on Sunday.
Some Western nations with troops in Afghanistan have said that Iranian weapons destined for the Taliban have been seized in Afghanistan, although they are unsure whether Tehran knew about the shipments.
The Shii'te Islamic Republic, which is facing growing international pressure over its nuclear program, has denied funding or arming the radical Sunni Taliban in Afghanistan.

My Comment: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Afghan Taliban were never friendly with Shiite Iran .... but both now have a common enemy in Afghanistan .... us. The border regions in Western Afghanistan have not experienced the surge in violence that is now the case for Western Afghanistan.
If this changes in the next few months, I an sure that Iran will be implicated.
