Recently, it was reported that Mohammad Asif Mohseni refused change for controversial Afghan legislation mandating that Shiite women must submit to sex from their husbands.
"It is not possible for all women to pay the same amount of money as men are paying. For all these expenses, can't we at least give the right to a husband to demand sex from his wife after four nights?" [Mohammad Asif Mohseni] said.
I've not seen a report that mentions his historical ties to Iran. Until 2005, he had previously been the leader of Harakat-e Islami-yi.
During the 1980s, the movement was part of the 'Tehran Eight', an alliance of Shiite mujahedin factions supported by Iran that fought against the PDPA government and Soviet troops.
This could be a calculated move to alienate Karzai from the West. From the standpoint of near-border security, Iran would gain from seeing all US presence driven from both Afghanistan.
