Question: Why did the country that deployed its army into Afghanistan in 1979 complain about the US's action to the body that imposed sanctions against Iran for their nuclear program?

The conflict, pitting indigenous impoverished Muslims (mujahideen) against an anti-religious superpower, galvanized thousands of Muslims around the world to send aid and sometimes to go themselves to fight for their faith. In 1979, the Soviet Union deployed its 40th Army into Afghanistan, attempting to suppress an Islamic rebellion against an allied Marxist regime in the Afghan Civil War. Leading this pan-Islamic effort was Palestinian sheikh Abdullah Yusuf Azzam. While the military effectiveness of these "Afghan Arabs" was marginal, an estimated 16,000 to 35,000 Muslim volunteers came from around the world came to fight in Afghanistan. <SEP> Since 2005, Iran's nuclear program has become the subject of contention with the international community following earlier quotes of Iranian leadership favoring the use of an atomic bomb against Iran's enemies and in particular Israel. Many countries have expressed concern that Iran's nuclear program could divert civilian nuclear technology into a weapons program. In 2009, the US Director of National Intelligence said that Iran, if choosing to, would not be able to develop a nuclear weapon until 2013. This has led the UN Security Council to impose sanctions against Iran which had further isolated Iran politically and economically from the rest of the global community. <SEP> as an initial response, truman called for a naval blockade of north korea, and was shocked to learn that such a blockade could be imposed only 'on paper', since the u.s. navy no longer had the warships with which to carry out his request. in fact, because of the extensive defense cuts and the emphasis placed on building a nuclear bomber force, none of the services were in a position to make a robust response with conventional military strength. general omar bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, was faced with re-organizing and deploying an american military force that was a shadow of its world war ii counterpart. the impact of the truman administration's defense budget cutbacks were now keenly felt, as american troops fought a series of costly rearguard actions. lacking sufficient anti-tank weapons, artillery or armor, they were driven back down the korean peninsula to pusan. in a postwar analysis of the unpreparedness of u.s. army forces deployed to korea during the summer and fall of 1950, army major general floyd l. parks stated that "many who never lived to tell the tale had to fight the full range of ground warfare from offensive to delaying action, unit by unit, man by man ... [t]hat we were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat ... does not relieve us from the blame of having placed our own flesh and blood in such a predicament." <SEP> in 1968, libya became signatory of nuclear non-proliferation treaty (npt), ratified the treaty in 1975, and concluded a safeguards agreement in 1980. despite its commitment to npt, there are reports indicating that muammar gaddafi of libya either made unsuccessful attempts to build or entered in an agreement to purchase a nuclear weapon from nuclear - armed nations. in the 1970s -- 80s, gaddafi made numerous attempts to accelerate and push forward his ambitions for an active nuclear weapons program, using the nuclear black market sources. however, after the end of the cold war in 1991, gaddafi sought to resolve its nuclear crises with the united states aiming to uplift the sanctions against libya, finally agreeing to authorize rolling back libya's weapons of mass destruction program on december 2003. <SEP> In the resulting Battle of Pusan Perimeter (August–September 1950), the U.S. Army withstood KPA attacks meant to capture the city at the Naktong Bulge, P'ohang-dong, and Taegu. The United States Air Force (USAF) interrupted KPA logistics with 40 daily ground support sorties that destroyed 32 bridges, halting most daytime road and rail traffic. On 27 August, 67th Fighter Squadron aircraft mistakenly attacked facilities in Chinese territory and the Soviet Union called the UN Security Council's attention to China's complaint about the incident. KPA forces were forced to hide in tunnels by day and move only at night. To deny matériel to the KPA, the USAF destroyed logistics depots, petroleum refineries, and harbors, while the U.S. Navy air forces attacked transport hubs. Consequently, the over-extended KPA could not be supplied throughout the south. The US proposed that a commission of India and Sweden determine what the US should pay in compensation but the Soviets vetoed the US proposal.
