Iran offers to train Afghan police

Reuters, here

"... The United States and Iran have not had diplomatic ties for three decades and are now at odds over Tehran's nuclear plans, but analysts say they share an interest in ensuring a stable Afghanistan and in an end to opium and heroin production there. Asked whether he envisaged Iranian and NATO forces working together against drug traffickers, Iran's police chief Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam told a news conference: "We have had no talks with NATO and recognize only the government of Afghanistan ... We have made no pledge to foreign forces."
