Top General: Iran is Working To Sabotage Trump’s Afghan Surge

Iran is trying to Sabotage Trump’s efforts in Afghanistan

The Daily Caller, Sept. 9, 2017 - Iran is providing military equipment and other support to the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, Afghan Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Mohammed Sharif Yaftali told BBC News.
U.S. and Afghan officials believe that Iran is quietly ramping up its covert efforts in Afghanistan in order to destablize the country and keep the U.S. bogged down in its longest war.
Iran’s surge in support for the Taliban coincides with the Trump administration’s decision to extend the U.S. presence in Afghanistan. Secretary of Defense James Mattis has signed off on the deployment of thousands more troops to the country, and President Donald Trump has pledged that the U.S. will not leave until adequate “conditions” have been met.
Iran shares a large land border with Afghanistan and enjoys trade and relations with many of its westernmost provinces. These provinces are hundreds of miles from the Afghan capital of Kabul, where the central government has the most authority.
