Russia, Iran Supporting Taliban to ‘Undermine’ U.S. Mission in Afghanistan

Iran and Russia working together to legitimize Taliban. Iran giving physical and monetary support while Russia is promoting them through what can only be viewed as propaganda.
“The Russian involvement this year has become more difficult,” Gen. John Nicholson told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “First, they have begun to publicly legitimize the Taliban. This narrative that they promote is that the Taliban are fighting Islamic State and the Afghan government is not fighting Islamic State and that, therefore, there could be spillover of this group into the region. This is a false narrative.”

“I believe its intent is to undermine the United States and NATO,” he later added.
