The vehicle that Castner inspected was eviscerated by an explosively formed penetrator (EFP), a weapon of Iranian engineering that was salted across battlefields wherever Iranian-backed Shiite militias and fighters gathered, such as Kirkuk and Baghdad’s Sadr City, he told The Washington Post on Friday. https://www.militarytimes.com/2015/09/16/dod-discloses-data-on-iraq-war-deaths-linked-to-iran/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran is most certainly the home base of training and financing for “other means”. 1 minute ago, Anler said: So...

Anler Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 So, every single occupation we have conducted in the ME was based on false evidence and is pretty much widely accepted as so. But NOW you have the goods on Iran citing fake news reports? Thanks for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
