An update on this story, by Brian Ross and Christopher Isham for ABC News' The Blotter:
NATO officials say they have caught Iran red-handed, shipping heavy arms, C4 explosives and advanced roadside bombs to the Taliban for use against NATO forces, in what the officials say is a dramatic escalation of Iran's proxy war against the United States and Great Britain.
"It is inconceivable that it is anyone other than the Iranian government that's doing it," said former White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, an ABC News consultant.
[...]
"This is part of a considered policy," says the analysis, "rather than the result of low-level corruption and weapons smuggling."
[...]
The coalition analysis says munitions recovered in two Iranian convoys, on April 11 and May 3, had "clear indications that they originated in Iran. Some were identical to Iranian supplied goods previously discovered in Iraq."
The April convoy was tracked from Iran into Helmand province and led a fierce firefight that destroyed one vehicle, according to the official analysis. A second vehicle was reportedly found to contain small arms ammunition, mortar rounds and more than 650 pounds of C4 demolition charges.
A second convoy of two vehicles was spotted on May 3 and led to the capture of five occupants and the seizure of RPG-7mm rockets and more than 1,000 pounds of C4, the analysis says.
Also among the munitions are components for the lethal EFPs, or explosive formed projectiles, the roadside bombs that U.S. officials say Iran has provided to Iraqi insurgents with deadly results.
"These clearly have the hallmarks of the Iranian Revolution Guards' Quds force," said Jones.
The coalition diplomatic message says the demolition charges "contained the same fake U.S. markings found on explosives recovered from insurgents operating in the Baghdad area."
"We believe these intercepted munitions are part of a much bigger flow of support from Iran to the Taliban," the message says.

Old news...they got caught red-handed multiple times supplying weapons for the terrorists in iraq, too...90% of whom aren't even iraqi.
Gee...wonder why it's not front page news either.

The United States just rolled two aircraft carriers, several battleships and 20,000 soldiers through the Strait of Hormuz (and who knows how many Submarines beneath the surface).
We parked them just off the coast of Iran.
Soon. Hopefully soon. Iran has needed a good ass-kicking since 1979.

What are the prospects, I wonder, for starting an insurgency in Iran? Probably the government there would be pretty ruthless in suppressing it, but the regime has a lot of opponents. It's certainly worth looking at closely, though I'm sure the liberal congress, and the State Department, wouldn't like it.
at June 6, 2007 7:55 PM
It's not even necessary or prudent to deliver a full
blown ass kicking to Iran for this.
I don't think they have that many refineries in
Iran. Those should be taken out, and their navy
and shipping stopped. That would send a message.

Dear Jihad,
Do you have a convenient list of the various Islamic "experts" who, over the course of time, have assured us that the Sunnis will never help the Shiites, and the Shiites will never help the Sunnis, and never the twain shall meet?
Perhaps there should be some kind of metric system documenting the salient pronouncements by the various "experts" on Islam who have led us so catastrophically astray over the last four decades. I know I've heard people like Tom Friedman and Marc Ruel Gerecht assure us that it's unthinkable that Iran would help al Qaida etc. Who else among the pantheon of "experts" on Islam have made such hollow pronouncements?
It seems imperative that the charlatans of Islam be skewered at every opportunity when their idiotic pronouncements prove to be so false and misdirected.
Cordially,
JSLA

The public isn't going to ever understand as long as the mainstream media keep getting their facts wrong, wrong, wrong.
This article mentions the "capture of five occupants and the seizure of RPG-7mm rockets and more than 1,000 pounds of C4." However, there is no such thing as an RPG-7mm rocket. There IS an RPG-7, our designation for an old and proven Rocket Propelled Grenade, Model 7, eveloped by the Soviet Union, and manufactured by many former Soviet bloc countries under license. The "mm" designation is completely out of place, and means nothing. It is a designation dropped in, maybe as an afterthought by someone who thinks it belongs. It is meaningless.
How many times do we hear revolvers referred to as pistols? Or vice-versa. They are different, as every gun owner knows, or should know. Semi-automatics are referred to as automatics, and vice-versa, which is a gross misrepresentation either way. Don't even get started with "assault weapons" which is a term largly CREATED by the media, and means "nasty, mean, military killer macho-looking stuff that scares us cause we're stupid."
These simple, verifiable firearms facts are easy for reporters to check and re-check, yet they continue to make the mistakes. How can one trust their reporting on larger, more difficult observations?
It takes a lot of effort to wade through the average mainstream report. Even assuming that the reporter was trying to be objective (a HUGE assumption, often unjustified), it is obvious that the reader has to bring a lot of outside knowledge to bear in order to glean real meaning from the report.
Of course, jihadwatch provides much of the knowledge we need, at least where islam is concerned. Thank you, Robert, Hugh, and all the rest,for giving us the insight to read between the lines, where the REAL information is often hidden in plain sight.

Start the rumor that all U.S. ammunition -- rifle, artillery sheels and bombs -- used on the Iranian border -- contain secret compartments with liquid pigs grease.

When the Taliban controlled all of Afghanistan, its members, being fanatical Sunnis, killed many Hazara men, women, and children, and were preparing to kill all of them when the American intervention removed the Taliban, and the threat. Had the Americans not intervened, it is possible that forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran would have. Yet now that same Islamic Republic of Iran sends explosives and other military aid to the Taliban in Afghaniistan, as it does to Sunni groups -- including Al Qaeda -- in Iraq, so that such weapons can be used against the Americans.
This should not surprise. The Islamic Republic of Iran regards the American Infidels as its main enemy, and is willing to supply aid to those who fight the Americans, just as it is happy to see the Americans, in response, hunt down and kill members of Al Qaeda in Iraq and other Sunni groups, and to do the same with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Ideally, for the Iranians, the Americans should be stuck in both Iraq and Afghanistan, never quite losing enough to leave, never quite winning -- but expending men's lives, money, materiel, and focussing attention on both those places, and not on undoing the nuclear project of the Islamic Republic.
Yet when the United States is presented on a platte with sectarian and ethnic fissures in Iraq that, if left alone, will inevitably develop in ways harmful to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Sunni counterattacks, supported by Sunnis outside Iraq, against the Shi'a now controlling much of Iraq, will demand that the Iranians furnish similar aid, on the same scale, to their co-religionists in Iraq. Kurdish autonomy, or Kurdish independence, can only attract the attention of, and raise the same aspirations among, the Kurds of Iran, and the Kurdish example in Iraq and Iran should also inspire the Baluchis, the Azeris, and the Arabs of Khuzistan, to revolt against their Persian masters in Teheran.
But this is not discussed. This is not seen as a good thing. This is not, you see, part of the Bush Administration's "mission" but rather the exact opposite of that "mission" to assure a united, stable, prosperous land called "Iraq." Such a mission makes no sense. But no one in the Administration, none of the generals in Iraq, and not the "counterinsurgency" expert David Kilcullen, are able to see beyond the trivial victories, of getting this or that Sunni tribe to attack Al Qaeda (which some in the American military wrongly interpret as meaning they have "thrown in their lot with the Americans" when they have done no such thing), when the whole project in Iraq is, from the Infidel point of view, senseless. Whatever goals the Administration has, even if they could be attained (they can't), would not do a thing about the Money Weapon, campaigns of Da'wa, and demographic conquest in Western Europe. Let's see if General Petraeus can stop and think for a bit, and begin to understand somethning outside that theatre of war, and begin to see anew what can be accomplished in Iraq that will indeed weaken the Camp of Islam -- and for that he will have to forget about the "surge" and "counterinsurgency" laws and think about the larger picture, the Big War (not the "long war" because even that phrase implies an end, and to this war of self-defense against the Jihad there is no end). Let's hope that all the faith put in Petraeus is not misplaced, and that the stories about his naive hope of "winning hearts and minds" is merely a rumor. For if it is true, it would, at this point, be horrifying testimony to terminal miscomprehension and naivete.

As Hugh says don't be suprised by this. Enemies throughout history have aided each other if they wanted to get at a common enemy when it suited both parties. A good example is WWII the USA and Soviet Union were on the same side. They were not really friends but they both had a common enemy. Once the common enemy was removed from the equation the U.S. and Soviets did the Cold War thing for the next 45 or so odd years.
Now the U.S. is a direct threat to the Iranians and their goal to get nukes. The best thing they can do now is tie down the U.S. in a series of pointless battles (like Iraq) until they get their nuke. They know the U.S. cannot attack Iran while in Iraq unless they want a Shia uprising in Iraq and they also know the political situation within the U.S. is not good due to Iraq. Giving weapons and aid to the Taliban and to Sunni groups like Hamas (In the case of Israel) keeps their enemies in check.
It is a smart play on their part. It means nothing deeper. They still hate each other.

yet my friend you have to wonder with all that firepower just off their coast why iran are still messing with the USA. guess why? iran has nukes either inside the USA or on their way. the US has her hands tied and so has to negotiate a way out otherwise those warships, aircraft fleet would've be in action months ago.
this is all thanks to liberals and their marxist masters.

Perpahs the "two aircraft carriers, several battleships and 20,000 soldiers" close by are what the Iranians want. The trouble the Iranians have right now is if they have several nukes how do they hit something with it? Right now they don't have the technology to hit targets far away by plane or missile and it is risky sending your new found weapons on a voyage to the U.S. (by Tanker or Ship) after all it might be stopped by the the U.S. Navy or Coast Guard.
However "two aircraft carriers, several battleships and 20,000 soldiers" sitting in the Strait of Hormuz is a nice target close enough to get at. It is possible we could stop it...but if you are a Shia madman looking for the return of the Mahdi...perfect target. What a gloat they would have taking out those ships. Would we counter with a nuclear strike of our own. With all those U.S. service men in Iraq now.
It would be a hell of a mess..I can tell you that.
I just think the Iranians seem too happy by these developments.
Posted by: greatcometof1577
at June 6, 2007 11:56 PM
correction...
Battleships = escort ships
We don't have battleships in the conventional sense anymore.
But what is in a name....there won't be much of a "battle" if the Iranians get a nuke close enough to one of those aircraft carriers.

Let's see if General Petraeus can stop and think for a bit, and begin to understand somethning outside that theatre of war, and begin to see anew what can be accomplished in Iraq that will indeed weaken the Camp of Islam
It is said that Generals fight the current war as if they were still fighting the previous. So, we tried the frontal tactics of WWII in the insurgency of Vietnam. And now, 40 years later, we are using the counter-insurgency techniques of Vietnam in defense of religious jihad.
If General Petraeus were to be so wise, would he even have the authority to take on the Money Weapon, the Da'wa, and the demographic conquests? This is so far removed from previous forms of warfare that it is almost unrecognizeable as warfare. But warfare it is, and if General Petraeus is in charge of winning it, he should have the authority. Someone should have the authority; that someone would have to be smart enough to see the big picture, and cunning and ruthless enough to take the appropriate steps.
Does General Petraeus even have the authority to define "winning" in this war? Is it to remove the ability of the jihadists to attack us at home and abroad? Or is "winning", as a well-intentioned poster suggested yesterday, defined as the "pacification of Iraq"? Neither would be easy; the methods to achieve either of them are very different from each other, and different from previous methods of warfare. And of course the results would be very different from each other.

I suspect that with all of the negotiations going on over there, combined with Rice’s removal of force from the table almost immediately after the fleet arrived, and Gates talk of appeasement, we found our bargaining position so tenuous that Iran, Turkey and Putin have been taking advantage of the opportunities provided. International relations are often predatory in nature and predators take advantage of the weak to bolster their own strength.
Taking into account that Bush has been under attack domestically from the left for years and is now attacking his own party as racists and bigots who want to execute Mexicans; this only adds to the worlds long held perception that Bush is an idiot. This fact weakens us still further in the eyes of our enemies.
Now Tony Snow is pretending it was all just a big misunderstanding and Bush is surprised at the negative reaction, but when considering that Bush’s statements were just one part of a media blitz orchestrated by his cabinet, it is demonstrably false that Bush’s statements were misunderstood.
Considering that we’ve probably had proof for a long time of Iran’s involvement in Iraq, and apparently more recently Afghanistan, but have chosen to avert our eyes and take the easy path to failure, the release of this news is probably a bargaining chip that we’ve just placed on the table to strengthen our hand.
But I’m just guessing. Whether I’m correct or not I’ll leave for historians to tell.

I would assume we know the location of the EFP factories. We should just take them out. No war declaration. Just take them out. That will give a message we are serious. If they need another message, take out Qom. And of course squash any attempt to oppose us.

Since when does Iran supply the Sunni Taliban who hate the Shiite so much. The same Taliban that the Sunni Pakistani ISI created.
Give me a break, this is Sunni's orchestrating this in hopes that we do their dirty work for them.
Unfortunately I need to see alot more to convince me that the Taliban and Shiite Iranians are helping each other, especially in light of the dirty sectarian war in Iraq today.

You think...YOU think...well stop, you'll become ill with stress.
The United states is NOT united, it does have the will or the front to see off the shia. The kaffur think they are different to muslims but ...are they really. Here is a muslim scholar's saying
Pani may Baraf ka muqaddar haa...pani bun jana
translated
"Put ice in water...and it will eventually become water...this is it's fate & destiny (muqaddar).
The kaffur is the ice...and it has come into muslim lands...it's only fate is to melt into the surrounding into muslims.
Here is the bottom line...the kaffur can never match up to Islam...Only Islam can match Islam...therefore the kaffur can only be part of Islam....NO amount of battle groups can stand upto Allah SWT ....

Hello,
I'm Albanian and I say the world should help the Kurdish people (nation) in the creation of their own country (in their original lands). Every nation/people on earth deserve to be free within there own compact territory. The world is big enough to cope with this. there is enough to go around for all. Turkey must be hit and hit hard in a iplomatic and political sense (even sanctions). NO EU membership without Turkey addressing the Kurdish issue and human rights. Turkey is a great country with a lot to offer, economically, culturally, etc but has some really big issues to clear up. Sorry Turkey.
Another comment:
I'm here to tell all that islam is very, very moderate within the Albanian nation and the Albanian inhabited lands of the Balkans. In fact there are far more radical muslims in the U.S. than in Albania (meaning all of the Albanian lands, whether free or still occupied. All Albanian muslims are very, very moderate and are aware of their christian heritage/roots and do not hide it and are they are proud of it. Their greatest national hero Scanderbeg (500 years ago)was a christian who fought against the Ottoman empire. Today, in Kosova, the head of parliament is a catholic and so are many other politicians. This Apllies for Albania also...Albanian christians in the same political partiies as muslim Albaanians. U.S. citizens and anyone from the west can move freely throughout kosova and Albania or any other Albanian lands for that matter. Fact: We are the most pro-American people in the Balkans if not all of Europe and we are active members/allies in the war on terror.
If you look at photos or video footage of the KLA during the Kosova Liberation War 1999 you will see men and women dressed in U.S. military style fatigues where 99% of all the men especially the young men are clean shaven. They were definately not jihadists. Example: they sang only patriotic songs to lift their moral not religious (islamic) songs or prayers. They did not ever prey to allah because religion especially islam had nothing to do with the war. Fact: There were many christian and non-religious fighters within the KLA. The KLA was made up of Pro-Western individuals only. Yes, there my have been the odd screwed up individual that entered to fight against serbs simply because they were christian but they were barely worth mentioning and had absolutely no power, official voice or influence whatsoever. I know this from first hand experience. Albanians are only muslim because of forced conversions and we all know this. That is why religion plays virtually no role in our life. All we care about is freedom and joining the west...Coming back home we say. Just talk to 99.99% of our youth. Do not talk to the 0.00001% of the odd brainwashed kid(s) that wahabi arseholes are trying to win over (this is happening in the U.S. U.K. , etc as we speak, in greater numbers) You can find more of these fundamentalist in any western country.

...that is incorrect...we find the fighters and their weapons all the time, but because of the current rules of engagement as dictated by the PC crowd and fear of prosecution by the dhimmicrats and the MOveOn.org types, our forces are often forced to stand by the sidelines, being allowed to attack only if fired upon and then only after clearance to fire is obtained...and then care must be maintained to insure no "civilians" are harmed....and of course, the Muslim terrorists always surround themselves with "civilians" who are most likely in agreement with the terrorists...
...we have found many, many large caches of weapons and explosives, Iraq is a verifiable huge weapons supply dump...Many of the weapons found are from Iran, the Weapons appear to be mainly of Chinese and Russian manufacture....
...and then we have the insane policy of releasing terror suspects captured in the course of military actions....some suspects have be captured multiple times....and we know what happens to our soldiers if they are captured...
...it is time we allow our military to do military things instead of just allowing them to be roving targets for the Muslim terrorists...we know who they are and we know where they are...put PC aside and let the cards fall where they may....

I do hope that the Americans really prove (beyond doubt!) that these weapons are from the Iranian government. It will be a real political catastrophe when they do attack and do not sufficiently prove that this is the case.
If a war starts from a Iran-initiated fire-exchange after an international crisis the history books will record that there was no other option but war. If on the other hand, the war against Iran starts with the deniable uncovering of a shipment of arms you will leave the door wide open for extremists to explain history their way.
Please let us not make the same mistakes as we did in Iraq.

Naseem -- our little "ray of sunshine" -- you couldn't be more mistaken concerning the fate of the United States.
Islam is for losers.

Even Hitler had the sense of honor to wage war openly and in uniform.

Stupd Hitler.. he didn't know to exploit political correctness and how "enemy combatants" are free to do whatever they want in battle but that the Allies will stick to the Rules no matter what.
Or maybe even he had more honor than a mahometan?

Proposal for the US and allied occupation of Iran:
Wheres Iran violated all civilized canons by taking diplomats hostage, it has forfeited any and all right to civilized treatment.
(1) All Iranians to be deprived of anything that can be used as weapons--unles they can demonstrate adherence to Christianity, Judaism, or Zoroastrianism.
(2) All Mullahs of Ithna'Ashariyah Shi'ite Islam are to be given the choice of Christian baptism or being choked with a gallon of liguified pork fat.
(3) All Muslim woman caught on the street wearing more than a shaven head and shower slippers will be assumed to be smuggling weapons or intending suicide bombers and shot on sight. The bodies will be left until they either explode or are eaten by jackals.
(4) In any town or village where ther is resistance, occupying forces will be ordered to assume that anything taller than the wheel of a jeep is an enemy combatant. Surviving small children are to be either left to be eaten by scavengers or adopted by persons certifiably members of a Christian, Jewish, or Zoroastrian association.
(5) Qom will be levelled and turned into a wildlife preserve--for four-legged wildlife. It is already a preserve for two-legged wild animals.
Muslims ought to understand this. This is how they treated the Balkans and Indian subcontinent.
