Did Iran hold talks with Iraqi "Insurgents"?

According to this article in the Telegraph, both Moqtadr Al Sadr, a leading Iraqi cleric with a rather large "army", and Hassan Nasrallah, the chief of the armed Shia group Hizbollah in Lebanon, have held separate meetings with Iranian officials only days before Iranian nuclear officials promised "harm and pain" to the US.

Why would Al Sadr and Nasrallah be meeting with the Iranians? Could it be that they are trying to get funding for their part in the on-going sectarian strife in Iraq (something that Iran continues to deny that they are doing)?

The disingenuousness of the Iranians is almost breathtaking, in that, not only are they meeting with an Iraqi who is the leader of an armed militia group, but with a known terrorist, but they are also calling for talks between Iran and the US on the situation in Iraq at the same time!
