Tony Blair says Iran “or Hezbollah”–which is, uh, completely backed and financed by Iran–is behind the new explosives in Iraq that are killing so many hundreds of people.
“What is clear is that there have been new explosive devices used, not just against British troops but elsewhere in Iraq,” Blair said during a news conference with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.
“The particular nature of those devices lead us either to Iranian elements or to Hezbollah, because they are similar to the devices used by Hezbollah.
“However, we cannot be sure of this at the present time.”
A senior British official first made the accusation against Iran at a Wednesday briefing, saying Britain believed Iran’s Revolutionary Guard supplied that technology used to kill eight British soldiers in incidents over the summer.
The official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said there was evidence that Iran was in contact with Sunni Muslim insurgent groups battling coalition troops in Iraq. He did not specify whether the alleged Iranian technology also was responsible for American soldiers’ deaths, according to Press Association.
Apparently, Iran doesn’t care how many Shi’ites die, as long as they kill infidels as well.
However, we already knew that.
