Foxnews links to an article in the Sunday Times that is only available by subscription. Since both are Murdoch media and the Fox piece does not even list one named source for its claims I will reserve my judgement for the moment when others pick up on the story (or don´t). And then there would also be a couple of questions : Iran and the Taliban are actually deadly foes ( radical sunnites versus radical Shiites) Iran is supporting the shiite Hazara tribe in Afghanistan in the civil war against the Taliban, and Iran is also fighting drug trafficking on its territory ( that is one of the prime money sources for the Taliban). All of these points are well documented and make such a cooperation rather unlikely.
