The Taliban threatened on Sunday that it could conquer Iran as tensions increase over water disputes between Afghanistan and Iran, leaving at least three people dead.
Senior Taliban commander Abdulhamid Khorasani, aka Nasser Badri, has in a video message warned that the group will fight against Iranians "with more passion" than they did against the US forces. "We will conquer Iran soon if Taliban's leaders give the green light for jihad."

It reminds the 1980s Iran-Iraq war..
We armed both sides.
I’m game with supplying both sides.
Set up bombs to go off on both sides. Each will blame the other.
Sometimes I think we shoda done it along the Russia/China border when they went at it in ‘69.
Uh, “nuke them….” Phone dictation still sucks.
Yes, we DEFINITELY should!
Well Biden already armed them. Maybe he had a stroke...of genius?
Wow. They’re eating their own!
Is there a nation out there with the ‘Tito ‘ like ability of the former Yugoslavia that could conquer the Taliban AND rule Afghanistan with an iron fist afterwards? Does Afghanistan have enough of anything exploitable to make it worthwhile to whoever has the wherewithal to do it?
It's a fair question to ask, if we would have been better off in the long run just leaving the Soviets alone in Afghanistan. It might not have been great, but it has to be better than what they got now.
We’ve already armed one side.
Nope we need to stir this pot.
Heck waaay back when iran and iraq were at it with each other it was wonderful.
It’s bad enough the talibs have American weaponry and tools, it would be terrible if they also had nukes as well!
Hmmmm.
Maybe all of that abandoned American coalition equipment will be put to good use after all.
Obama funded Iran and Biden armed the Taliban- who would have guessed either ever got anything right?
“I’m thinking maybe we should stay out of this one.”
What are you thinking? We’ve got the largest military in the world and we’ve got to keep things rolling.
Major producer of opium.
Another proxy war using our weaponry!
The USA has already armed one side that we know of.
And has helped the other to become nuclear.
So if you are going to make a joke - make it more preposterous.
