Beware of the Bhartis. They are not that truthful. On the other hand as karzai came to Pakistan, The Iranian president went to Afghanistan.
I think Iran has smell something and jumped in. And i feel Indian would try to ride on Iranians' back.
Jana : While I agree with you on the later, however, Iran is no fool either. They already know the backstabbing of India, couple this with the statement from Ahmednejad ! :
Also add this up that Rigi was caught with Pakistani NICOP card .. But still Iran is keeping this news low, although it was told but they are not accusing directly Pakistan. This I think is a major understanding on behalf of Iran to not malign us any further.
Also we have to take a fresh note out of our book and re-start our strategic friendship with our brother nation Iran and not dwell on disunity amongst us.

Ahmadinejad said the best way to fight terrorists was not on the battlefield, but through the use of intelligence, which does not result in the death of troops or civilians.

At a news conference in the Afghan capital, Ahmadinejad was asked to respond to US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who earlier in the week accused Tehran of "playing a double game" by trying to have a good relationship with the Afghan government while undermining US and NATO efforts by providing some support to the Taliban.
Tehran has said it supports the Afghan government and denies allegations that it helps the Taliban. Iran calls the accusation part of a broad anti-Iranian campaign and says it makes no sense that its Shiite-led government would help the fundamentalist Sunni movement of the Taliban.
"I believe that they themselves," who are now fighting militants in Afghanistan, "are playing a double game," he said. "They themselves created terrorists and now they're saying that they are fighting terrorists."
During the 10 years the that the Soviet Union fought in Afghanistan, the US supplied rebels with supplies ranging from mules to advanced weaponry, including Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that played a crucial role in neutralizing Soviet air power. The US money spigot, however, was later turned off and the world watched Afghanistan plunge into chaos and eventually harbor Al Qaida terrorists.
Gates, who left Afghanistan shortly before Ahmadinejad spoke, called Ahmadinejad's visit to Kabul "certainly fodder for all the conspiratorialists."
"We think Afghanistan should have good relations with all its neighbors, but we want all of Afghanistan's neighbours" to deal fairly with President Hamid Karzai's government," Gates said.Karzai said Iran was assisting Afghanistan with reconstruction projects, improving education and helping provide electricity.
"We are very hopeful that our brother nation of Iran will work with us in bringing peace and security to Afghanistan so that both our countries will be secure," Karzai said, adding that Afghanistan has a very good relationship with Tehran."We have mentioned several times to our brother nation, Iran, that we don't want any one to use our soil against any of our neighbors," he said.Ahmadinejad and Karzai both spoke at the presidential palace, but it was the Iranian leader who did nearly all of the talking.
He said the best way to fight terrorists was not on the battlefield, but through the use of intelligence, which does not result in the death of troops or civilians.
He repeatedly he raised the Iranian capture of Abdulmalik Rigi, former leader of an insurgent group known as Jundallah. Iran has accused the US and Britain of supporting Jundallah in an effort to weaken the Iranian government - a charge that both nations deny.
He said the US and other nations would be better off using intelligence, not military force, to fight militants in Afghanistan.
"Iran didn't kill any innocent civilians," in the arrest of Rigi, he said, adding later that the US was trying to bring civilization to Afghanistan "by gun and bomb."
