Afghan authorities have accused Iran of becoming the "main thoroughfare" for gunmen infiltrating into Afghanistan in order to fight with the Taliban.
Recently, three foreign Taliban fighters who entered via Iran were arrested.
The Afghan media, which are close to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, claim that the Afghan people cannot continue to be silent in the face of Iran's behavior, and called on the government to close the border crossing with Iran however possible.
