[When the United States military command accused the Iranian Quds Force in
January of providing the armor-piercing EFPs (explosively formed
penetrators) that were killing US troops, it knew that Iraqi machine shops
had been producing their own EFPs for years, a review of the historical
record of evidence on EFPs in Iraq shows.
The record also shows that the US command had considerable evidence that the
Mahdi Army of Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr had received the technology and
the training on how to use it from Hezbollah, rather than Iran.--Gareth

[The new report upended years of previous assessments by asserting that
the Islamic republic halted the weapons side of its nuclear program in
2003. The report, while expressing concern about Iran's rapidly growing

been bent on acquiring nuclear weapons.--Joby Warrick and Walter Pincus, "Lessons of Iraq Aided Intelligence On
