This is going on even as the Most Equal Comrade, Secretary Global-test and Wendy Sherman rush to ink a nuke deal with Iran and work with it on addressing ISIS

This adds a new layer of contemptibility to the MEC junta's headlong rush to culminate its patty-cake with the mullahs:

Iran continues to provide “calibrated lethal aide to the Taliban” in Afghanistan to help the group conduct attacks on U.S. and Western security forces operating in the country, according to a new report published by the Pentagon.

Iran’s elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has been supplying various arms to the Taliban as part of Tehran’s mission of eradicating Western forces and preventing the United States from safely establishing permanent bases in Afghanistan, according to the Pentagon’s 2014 “Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan” report, which was published in October.

The arms are being provided by Iran as a supplement to a $1 billion aid program aimed at keeping the Afghan government firmly in Tehran’s corner, according to the report.

Details of Iran’s clandestine support for the Taliban come as the Obama administration quietly continues its efforts to enlist Iran in the fight against the Islamic State (IS).

Our overlords see themselves as visionaries ushering in an age of global unicorns and rainbows.  The mullahs properly assess them to be utter fools.
