<P>Drug traffickers in well-armed desert convoys roll across the border from 
Afghanistan. Standing in their way are Iranian soldiers and drug agents trying 
to choke off one of the world's busiest pipelines for opium and heroin.</p> <P>The battles - waged far from the world's attention in the arid badlands of 
eastern Iran - represent one of the dwindling patches of common ground between 
Tehran and the West. The United States has applauded Iran's anti-drug campaign 
and European nations help fund the fight.</p> <P>But now this support could be threatened by the standoff over Tehran's 
nuclear policies.</p> <P>Western nations have told Iran that they could cut off any new help to Iran's 
anti-drug units unless the Islamic regime halts uranium enrichment, which 
Washington and its allies worry could be used to develop nuclear arms.</p> <P>The warning was a small but potentially significant item tucked into an array 
of trade and economic incentives seeking to sway Iranian leaders to strike a 
deal.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AF836DF4-D80F-4AEB-9ADF-D2E1E99258B8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
