Gen. Campbell agreed, saying that he did not know the exact nature or scale of the Iranian regime’s support for the Taliban.<\/p>\n
The tense alliance between the mullahs’ regime in Iran and the Taliban dates back years. International forces interdicted Iranian arms shipments intended for Taliban groups as early as 2007.<\/p>\n
In addition to its provision of weapons to the Taliban, Iran’s regime pays salaries and runs at least four training camps for Taliban insurgents, according to the Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n
