Iran exchanges heavy gunfire with Taliban on Afghan border

[Nithavela]

The Taliban and Iran exchanged heavy gunfire Saturday on the Islamic Republic’s border with Afghanistan, killing and wounding troops while sharply escalating rising tensions between the two countries amid a dispute over water rights.

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted the country’s deputy police chief, Gen. Qassem Rezaei, accusing the Taliban of opening fire first Saturday morning on the border of Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province and the Afghan province of Nimroz. IRNA said Iran inflicted “heavy casualties and serious damage.”

I don't want to credit the US government with actually planning this, but I guess that if you leave a lot of weapons in a country that's surrounded by your enemies, sooner or later those weapons might get used against your enemies.

Yet I was told here on this very forum that those weapons were going to be used against us us! These deep cover operations to give the illusion that Islam isn’t a monolithic block of one mind are intense.
