The Taliban government in Afghanistan supported global terrorism. Specifically, the Taliban provided a safe haven for Al Qaeda and refused to turn over Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks. However, going back to the early 1980's, the US was involved with arming and financing the Mujaheddin, an Islamist guerrilla force that fought against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The US involvement was based on the "enemy of my enemy" philosophy of the Cold War.

There are no wars being fought in Iran currently. The US is involved in Afghanistan and drawing out of Iraq.
The US invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to wage war on terrorism, as Afghanistan is a hub for terrorists. The US is not at war with Afghanistan, but is working with the country to fight terrorism and keep Afghanistan out of terrorist hands. The same ideology was behind the Iraqi War.

The US is not at war with Iran. The only war the US is involved in is Afghanistan. The US has ended their combat role in Iraq, yet still have troops stationed there. Though we are not at war with Iran, you can not say we are on "friendly" terms with their President.
The US has been fighting in Afghanistan longer it was fighting in Vietnam. It is the longest war in US history.

The United States is not at war with any country. The United States is at war with terrorism in the Middle East. The US has not declared war on any nation since World War II. Currently, the US is only involved in the War in Afghanistan, but is not a total beligerent. The War in Afghanistan is currently being fought between Afghanistan and terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The US is merely supporting Afghanistan by supplying troops, supplies, and overseeing the government, just as the UK is. The same issue was present in the Iraqi War. The US was not at war with Iraq, they were supporting Iraq.
The war in Afghanistan seems to have been going on for the longest time. US soldiers were first sent into Afghanistan after the Russian pulled out of Afghanistan. The first US soldiers entered Afghanistan in 2001.
