Petraeus: Iranian Payments to Afghan Government â€™Disingenuousâ€™

Petraeus: Iranian Payments to Afghan Government â€™Disingenuousâ€™

30 October 2010 04:19 (UTC +04:00)

Baku â€“ APA. The top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan says Iranâ€™s cash payments to the Afghan government are "disingenuous" or misleading, because Tehran also is actively supporting the Taliban, APA reports quoting â€œThe Voice of Americaâ€.

U.S. General David Petraeus told VOAâ€™s Persian News Network Friday that Iran gives the Afghan government financial support, but also undermines the Kabul government by aiding the insurgents responsible for the countryâ€™s security problems.

Petraeus said Iran directly supports Taliban militants with training and equipment, and also offers some direction to the insurgents fighting to overthrow Afghanistan President Hamid Karzaiâ€™s government.
