Karzai receiving cash from Iran

Afghan President, Ahmed Karzai has acknowledged that Iran is channeling in money to aid his regime. The story was first reported by the New York Times but had yet to be confirmed by Afghan officials.

Karzai insists that the money was not a gift to a single official but “transparent” aid to his office. The news is interesting, given that Iran is sort of a pariah state that is believed to fund terrorist organizations. Iran also faces intense pressure from the west to abandon its nuclear “energy” project.
