The Pentagon's first annual report to Congress on Iran's military capabilities reveals that Ayatollah Khamenei had ordered the Revolutionary Guards to provide weapons and training to the Taliban and other Sunni Muslim groups. The new report counters previous American intelligence claims that such cooperation was impossible because of sectarian differences with Shiite Iran.

In the past it was revealed that nine of the Al-Qaeda 9/11 hijackers travelled to Iran prior to launching their notorious attack. Reports are also surfacing which say that Osama Bin Laden is hiding out in Iran.
