U.S. officials question Iran’s role in Iraq

While this week’s National Intelligence Estimate on Iran has muddled the debate over its nuclear ambitions, U.S. military officials apparently are unconvinced that Iran has stopped its alleged “interference” in Iraq.

In a release issued Friday, military officials in Baghdad asked, “Is Iran really stopping the flow of munitions and explosives into Iraq as they claim? Too early to tell, you be the judge. Fourteen Iranian-made rockets found are solid proof that the influence is there and possibly still coming across the border.”

The rockets were turned in to coalition troops southeast of Baghdad, U.S. military officials said. The rockets were manufactured in late 2006, officials said, and were found along with their fuses, which means “the rockets were ready to be used in the very near future,” the release read.

Iraqi civil defense personnel turned the rockets over to Kazakhstani soldiers at Forward Operating Base Delta, officials said.

Top U.S. military officials have long accused Iran of sending weapons to Iraqi militia groups, training Shiite fighters and working to undermine parts of the new Iraqi government.
