The capture of the officer confirms that Iran is directly supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The officer, from the elite al-Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, was captured by US special forces on December 18, a Nato spokesman said. Described as "a key Taliban weapons facilitator", he was arrested in Kandahar province.
"The joint security team specifically targeted the individual for facilitating the movement of weapons between Iran and Kandahar through Nimroz province," a Nato statement said.

Did they at least beat the living bejesus out of him first seeing as they won’t be able to get any info out of him as per Obama and Eric Holder?
Iranians have been captured in Iraq as well.
Yeah, we should impose sanctions.
Trade him for the captured GI.
Return the soldier attached to this:
1. Inject him with smallpox.
2. Return him to Iran.
It’s very possible he’s another McGreevey. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
Why do these jerk news types always refer to Iranian soldiers as “elite”. Before this it was “elite Republican guard”. Referring to the Iraqi’s who ran away to stay and play another day.
Okay, so remind me: these primitive types have not won a conflict in how many centuries?
They read him his rights I hope\s
Obama will get him home to Iran before he starts talking.
Flashback to the Russian spies.

Obama's reaching for the K-Y right now. Thanks Pan_Yan.
I wonder whether we’ve captured more Iranians or Americans fighting for the Taliban...
Ping.
I don’t think he was fighting for the Taliban. I’m certain he was providing material support with the full backing of his government which our elected leaders have been too chicken to stand up to since 1989.
Good point.
Now, if they could find the 20k Iranian Special Operators in Iraq...and the OTHER 5k in Afghanistan...or the 1,500 in Lebanon...or the 1,500 in Gaza.
The list goes on.
Folks need to understand, Iran is ALREADY at war with us. They have been for 30 years.
Great....ozero can bring him back the New York and put him on trial. The ACLU will defend him and since he wasn’t read his Maranda rights in Arabic & Persian languages, the judge (a Clinton appointee) will order the case dismissed!!
Ha, so what O’burkha baby is having a hawaiian vacation, little golf, little bud smoking and more partying. He has no time for real work except dismantling America as we know it. He’s having too much fun destroying us to take notice of real problems; plus he just may do the hula for all his fans, in his burkhahaha.
Not surprising and I thank you for the ping Jet Jaguar.
