Tehran flatly denies Washington’s claims it supplies lethal armour-piercing bombs to Iraqi insurgents.
Iranian officials on Monday angrily dismissed US claims that they supply lethal armour-piercing bombs to Iraqi insurgents, as local security forces threw up checkpoints around war-torn Baghdad.
"It's not true. It's not fair. Iran did not supply those weapons. It is like America's former statements against Saddam Hussein about the weapons of mass destruction," an Iranian diplomat said.
Before their 2003 invasion of Iraq, US officials famously accused the then Iraqi dictator Saddam of stockpiling chemical weapons. These claims were later disproved and American officials now admit they were mistaken.
