Iran

The Iraqi government is preparing its case on Iran’s involvement in the Shia insurgency. “It’s a bit disingenuous to believe such quantities of up-to-date weapons manufactured this year, last year, can flow into the country without the knowledge of the Iranian government,” said Iraq’s ambassador to the UN. An al Qaeda operative said Iran is supporting Sunni terrorists in Iraq.
