KABUL -- At least five Iranian companies in Afghanistan's capital are using their offices covertly to finance Taliban militants in provinces near Kabul, according to a Sunday Times investigation.
Afghan intelligence and Taliban sources have told the newspaper that the firms, set up in the past six months, provide cash for a network of district Taliban treasurers to pay battlefield expenses and bonuses for killing the enemy and destroying their vehicles.
The Iranian companies win contracts to supply materials and logistics to Afghans involved in reconstruction. The money often comes in the form of aid from foreign donors.

Blow them up.
Financing gone.
Then, allow them to set up more and do the same.
Iran is behind all the ills in the ME right now: Gaza/Hamas, Hezbollah/Lebanon, relationships with Syria/Turkey/Chavez, Taliban/Afghanistan and disruptions in Iraq —the West (US and Israel) need make no apologies for putting them back in their box - militarily. sooner would have been better as their grip only strengthens as the One dithers.
War by proxy?
Iran is worst then Iraq ever was. IMHO

1. First and foremost, allowing Iraq's new gov't to be formed under the "Controlling Authority" of Islam/Sharia, which--as in Afghanistan--will come back to bite us; and
2. Not sealing the border with Iran and putting the Mulla-mullahs and President I'm-a-nut-job on notice that they risked severe repercusions if they worked to de-stabilize Iraq and provided ANY support to the Jihadist which would lead to US casualties.
Close them down. They’re killing Americans and NATO troops. The government of Iran can go to Hell.
Thank the democrats and their lack of support and funding of the Iraq ‘freedom from the regime war’, when we needed it the most, which now they are all trying to take credit for winning.
They did everything they could to hold President Bush down.
Well, it’s KARMA time!
Just like the thumb setters with our border security here, the UN and
all the other thumb setters have let Iran build up to a point
where it will almost impossible to control them.
Useless POS in charge here that want to give us over to more useless POS.
Okay. I feel better now... just a little. My BP is getting up there.
Taking a break.
Bombing runs over Iranian infrastructure following each American death by IED would have stopped this years ago.
Don’t worry. Obama is reaching out to them. Soon Iran will decide that we are no threat, and then the will be kind to us.
