“Couldn’t these weapons have been made anywhere?”
Maj. Weber can be taken as credible that these are of Iranian manufacture. His comments, however, point out that the Iranians mark these weapons in this way for sale on the international market. Nothing in this presentation rules out that these specific items coming from another immediate source other than Iran. The Iranians could have sold them, and the buyer could have brought them into Iraq.
Now, I believe the military when it says the evidence is conclusive that Iran is smuggling weapons into Iraq. This presentation, however, does not constitute a smoking gun.
Thank you, Maj. Weber, and your comrades for your service to the USA. And thanks to Mr. Miniter for this report.
