Tehran has rejected Washington's allegations of supplying arms to the Taliban to counter US influence in Afghanistan, Tehran Times reported.

“What is happening in Afghanistan today is the outcome of the U.S. warmongering and interference in the internal affairs of Afghanistan,” Saeed Khatibzadeh, the newly-appointed Foreign Ministry spokesman, said in a statement released on Monday.

“We’ve made clear we know the history, we know that the Russians have armed the Taliban in the past, right. We know that the Iranians continue to arm them today. So we know these facts,” Pompeo claimed in an interview with Radio Free Europe last week.
