The U.S. Treasury has accused Iran of supporting Al-Qaeda and slapped financial sanctions on six people it says are operatives for the terrorist organization in Pakistan, Iran, Kuwait, and Qatar.
The agency said on July 28 that Iran is a "critical transit point for funding to support Al-Qaeda's activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan" and said it had uncovered a network that "serves as the core pipeline through which Al-Qaeda moves money, facilitators, and operatives from across the Middle East to South Asia."
We'll see more attacks like this in Afghanistan if the Taliban and al Qaeda can count on continued support (advice and material) from Iran:
A group of suicide bombers attacked several government buildings in central Afghanistan Thursday, killing at least 19 people and wounding 37 others in one of the deadliest attacks to hit the country in recent months.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the coordinated attack in Tarin Kot, the capital of Uruzgan province. The group said it used a team of six suicide bombers to strike at the governor's house, police headquarters and the base of a militia commander who provides security to NATO convoys.
The initial explosions were followed by heavy gun battles between militants and Afghan security forces and guards. A NATO spokesman said the international coalition sent reinforcements, including air support, to help the Afghan forces repel the assault.
Once Iran has nuclear weapons that they believe will shield them from our power (assuming that Iran doesn't want to test the proposition that Israel is a "one-nuke state"), what more will they do to wage war on us?
And if our response is muted now, what will we do then?
