eg in the Washington Post, about Iran's alleged supply of arms to the Taliban, Afghan President Hamid Karzai told a joint press conference with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates at his side that he regarded Iran as "a very close friend" that has helped Afghanistan's reconstruction during the past five years.

Karzai called the allegations of Iran's pro-Taliban meddlings as "baseless", and even Gates reluctantly admitted that the US has no "proof" that Iran was supplying arms to Taliban, thus disputing the claim of a "senior US official" who told the Washington Post just last week that the US had solid evidence to this effect ...'
