Who has suggested that?
While I'm no expert, the glaring fact is that Iran predominantly is populated by Shiites while Afghanistan is predominantly Sunni. The Afghan people have shown for the past century a tremendous resistance to outside control. Also, the Iranian government has historically not liked the opium trade there and doesn't even have the resources to engage in conflict.
So why in the hell would Iran want to take over? It's a near impossibility...
