Except that given everything else Iran has done, its extremely likely. I would be more surprised if it was false. CNN had an article months ago about IRan training Taliban.

The Iran - Taliban axis also confirmed with this report.

Heavy weapons are continuing to stream across the Afghan border from Iran despite Barack Obama's attempts to enlist Tehran's help in fighting the insurgency, officials have said.

Border police say they are regularly intercepting consignments of anti-tank mines and mortars bound for Afghan militants fighting Nato-led forces. I had to factor in Iranian long range weapons when designing a defensive architecture for secure supply routes in Afghanistan.

I have revised this plan to defend against anticipated indirect fire as well. This has involved widening the security border either side of the supply route to keep enemy mortar and rocket launcher teams out of range of the supply line.

Apparently, the Taliban are being supplied indirect fire weapons from Iran so defenders need to be prepared to expect attacks using weapons such as 120 mm heavy mortars, with a range of 6200 metres and 107 mm rocket launchers with a range of 8500 metres.

Heavy weapons are continuing to stream across the Afghan border from Iran despite Barack Obama's attempts to enlist Tehran's help in fighting the insurgency, officials have said. So regretfully there is no avoiding the requirement for compulsory purchase of land and eviction of occupiers along a 19 kilometre or 12 mile wide corridor, the whole length of the supply route. I have suggested action to stop Iranian state TV satellite broadcasts because that is the action which puts the maximum pressure on the Iranian regime while avoiding completely collateral damage.

However, in war sometimes the enemy does not give up after a first strike so after IRIB is forced off satellite and if still the Iranian regime is supplying the Taliban, we need to go to the next level which means bombing key regime targets in Iran - Al-Quds force, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, secret police HQ etc.

So sure bomb Iran if necessary but I can't say I could recommend an invasion.
