Washington - The United States has "irrefutable evidence" that Iran is arming Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, defying a UN Security Council resolution, a top US diplomat said Wednesday. NATO forces in Afghanistan have intercepted some of the shipments, which are coming from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, US Undersecretary of States Nicholas Burns told Cable News Network (CNN).

"There's irrefutable evidence the Iranians are now doing this and it's a pattern of activity," he said. Their alleged arming of a variety of allies in the region is "very violent and very unproductive activity by the Iranian government," he said.

Burns turned up the rhetoric by levelling specific allegations.

"It's certainly coming from the government of Iran," he said. "It's coming from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard corps command, which is a basic unit of the Iranian government."

Vice President Cheney: "We now have IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE that has once again set up and reconstituted his program to take uranium, to enrich it to sufficiently high grade, so that it will function as the base material as a nuclear weapon. And there's no doubt about the fact that the level of effort has escalated in recent months."
