[MCU]Why did Stane tried to kill Tony in Afghanistan?

Plausible deniability.  Stane wanted control of Stark Industries, hence the implied assassination of Howard Stark.  He already played the "car accident" card, don't want to be too suspicious.  A reckless playboy getting blown up in the middle of a war zone wouldn't merit too much investigation.
