Muhammad Tahir has quoted by New York Times

One of the leading newspaper of the world, The New York Times published quotations (June 11, 2007) from the column written by Muhammad Tahir, which was originally published on Jamestown Foundation (on January 18, 2007). The following is the original text.
Iran remains suspicious of the Taliban’s ties to Pakistan and, in response, has cultivated stronger ties to India, which includes building a road linking the two states and inking a number of energy deals with Indian firms. Yet Iran also has exploited the current rift between Kabul and Islamabad by enhancing trade links with Afghanistan. “This reality limits Washington’s option to pressure Tehran since if Iran blocks the border, the Afghan economy could collapse,” writes Mohammed Tahir in the Jamestown Foundation’s Terrorism Monitor.
