Iran Has Teamed Up with the Taliban
(JNS) Jackson Richman - Freshman Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), 45, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, has seen firsthand what Iran wants to do in the Middle East. He said in an interview: "When I served abroad in Afghanistan, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was very active with the Taliban, even though they would not have a natural relationship, with Iran obviously being Shia [and] the Taliban being an extremist Sunni organization." "But we've seen Iran through the IRGC and through the Kuds force, which is its foreign operations force, very effectively have marriages of convenience with surrogates that may not be naturally aligned but have forces that they want to use against the U.S., which is exactly what they were doing with the Taliban through training, through recruiting, and helping them with arming and equipping."
