OK, so I don't know how the hell I missed this, but I was reading through some old information I had on the inital days (2001 months) of OEF-A.
And I read this

"The Afghan war has produced at least one set of improbable bedfellows: the US and Iran. That is why the battle for Herat in southwest Afghanistan on Monday, November 12, stood out from the Northern Alliance's other rapid-fire wins. Beyond giving the anti-Taliban movement a key city and control over the main routes to Iran and Turkmenistan, winning Herat may be remembered as a turning point for America's foreign relations outside Afghanistan too, because it brought the US and Iran together militarily for the first time since the anti-American Shiite revolution swept to power in Tehran in 1979. This landmark conjunction is bound to make waves in the India subcontinent, the Persian Gulf and the Middle East."

So it was planned for the two forces to work together?!
I'm not particulary read up on our relations with Tehran, but I figured it was kind of a kill on site relationship.
Anyone shed any light on this, no OpSec of course.
