In Washington, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called Iran "notably unhelpful" in US-led efforts to pacify neighboring Iraq.
He said some conventional weapons from Iran were reaching insurgents in Iraq, but suggested it was unclear whether elements of the Iranian government played a role in supplying them.
"It is true that weapons, clearly, unambiguously from Iran, have been found in Iraq," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon press conference.
"It's notably unhelpful for the Iranians to be allowing weapons of those types to be crossing the border," he said.
