Iranians train Taliban to use roadside bombs

This attempt to link the Taliban and Iran has absolutely zero credible sourcing.

Notice the weasel-wording here:

"TALIBAN commanders have revealed that hundreds of insurgents have been trained in Iran to kill Nato forces in Afghanistan. "

OK, which Taliban commanders?!? These people have names, don't they??

"Karl Eikenberry, the American ambassador to Afghanistan, recently described signs of co-operation between Iran and the Taliban as disturbing.

“Iran or elements within Iran have provided training assistance and some weapons to the Taliban,” he said."

OK, if you're talking Iranian weapons, show me the weapons!

Without truly credible evidence, this alleged "story" doesn't pass the smell test.

But one has to wonder; is this being planted in outlets in the West so that if a false flag event occurs soon, that everyone in the West will blame it on Iran?!?


Were I a betting human being, I would be more inclined to see the timing of this story as a prelude to seeing some kind of false-flag "terrorist event" to blame on Iran, to get the war started.
