Afghanistan Drug Trade, US Military, Poppy Fields
Iranian officials have formally accused the U.S., Britain, and Canada of facilitating the drug trade in Afghanistan, which produces 90% of the world's opium. The report claims that 13,000 tons of "drug catalysts" are smuggled through borders controlled by Western troops. The hosts discuss widely available images of U.S. troops appearing to protect poppy fields, suggesting the military is complicit in the heroin trade.
