Iran Sent EFP Bombs to Iraqi Militants

Iran has started to supply bombs to U.S. enemies within Iraq, according to the U.S. White House. Three senior military officials claim that there is proof that the bombs were made in Iran and ordered by top Iranian leaders to Iraq for the militants fight against the U.S. invasion. The bombs, known as EFP (explosively formed penetrators) weapons, are suspected to have been what blew several helicopters out of the air in the past month. The U.S. military said last week that the enemy has forced them to change their strategy.

Experts concur that the weapon's trail began at the Iran's Revolutionary Guards Quds Force. The Iran's Revolutionary Guards Qud Force is also blamed for arming the Hezbollah guerilla army in Lebanon. Lebanon is the place that the EFP weapon was first tested.

During the past few weeks, U.S. officials have been working to put together a package that would back the White House claims of Iran supporting the Iraqi militants fight with U.S. forces. In the past, some critics have condemned the Bush administration of altering the facts or just making them up, a charge that was found to be true when there was no weapons of mass destruction was found in the suspected country. Bush critics argue that this 'package of proof' is nothing more than a paid tribute to the desires of the White House.

Despite much evidence, the military in Baghdad vehemently denies that there is any new Iranian weapons behind the attack of helicopters or U.S. soldiers. There has been four of the five military helicopters shot down in the last month, as well as two private security helicopters. Previously, the Iraqi militants have not had the right weapons or the right strategy to cause much harm to the expensive, high-tech, military helicopters. U.S. officials stated that the Iran's Revolutionary Guards Quds Force report directly to the Iran leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. If this is so, the Iran could be stoking the fires in Iraq so that the war stays in Iraq.
