The Taliban in Afghanistan is connected with the Taliban inside of Iran who are tied to the opposition against the Mullahs.
When I questioned the opposition weeks ago about what would happen if they gained control, they told me not to worry, the Taliban could not be bought or compromised.
A N. Syrian Kurdish friend of mine over a year ago told me the opposition in Iran is just another flavor of the same thing. Even if they try to look moderate, they are not.

The Afghani Taliban is supported by the Pakistani ISI and is connected to a group with a similar name in Pakistan. The Taliban is Sunni and is very doubtful they would ever gain a foothold in Iran - a country of Shia Persians.
