Video recorded today shows Taliban fighters opening fire on Iranian border checkpoints in what is allegedly a dispute over water rights between the two nations. If you had "The Taliban attack Iran over water" on your World War 3 bingo card, you can go ahead and stamp that now.

Ahmadreza Radan, as saying.
