U.S. Delays Report on Iran Arms

Source: WSJ

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. military, in a shift, has postponed the release of a report detailing allegations of Iranian support for Iraqi insurgents, according to people familiar with the matter.

The military had initially planned to publicize the report several weeks ago but instead turned the dossier over to the Iraqi government, these people said. The Iraqis are using the information to pressure Tehran to curb the flow of Iranian weaponry and explosives into Iraq, these people said.

The classified briefing includes photographs of Iranian mortars, rockets and explosives with date stamps indicating they were manufactured within the past few months, long after Iran said it would halt weapons shipments to Iraq, according to officials who have seen it.

The dossier also contains written accounts of interrogation sessions with captured Shiite militants who contend that Iraqi fighters are being trained at a facility near Tehran run by the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, the officials said.

The military said the report eventually would be made public but refused to say when it would be released.

The weapons they found from the so-called Iranian insurgents were the ones we gave them? So now they'll have to edit that out of the report.

Oooookay.

I would love to know how many of those arms were sold to Iran by the U.S. Ghorbanifar must be raking in the bucks.
