Additionally, the Iranian government actually provided intelligence about the Taliban to coalition forces during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.

How did Muslims build the Arab empire?
Answer 1
Muslim builds a successful Islamic Empire. They ruled over the world for more than 1000 year. Actually Muslims were successful to build Arab empire because they simply apply the rules of Holy Qur'an and teaching of Holy prophet SAW.
Answer 2
As the empire expanded from being only Arabia, the political organization of Islam changed from being one governed by tribal codes and ethics to one with an imperial capital, provinces, and ostentatious royalty. Democracy and meritocracy were replaced with monarchy. A bureaucracy was developed in Damascus using former Sassanian and Byzantine talents. This is rather unique because in most empires, a conquered population was kept out of the ruling apparatus. However, in the Arab Empires, there was a strong intent to integrate the conquered populations and many in the territories wished to become Muslim due either to conviction or to financial incentive. The Maghreb, Spain, and Afghanistan were militarily annexed and there were expeditions (military) sent as far as Xinjiang Province (East Turkestan) is China. The empire was held together by institutions such as the governates, roads, and police/soldiers, just like every other empire. It just happens that track record of violence and repression is better for the Arab Empire than contemporaneous states.
