BAGHDAD: Militants from the Lebanese group Hezbollah have been training Iraqi militia fighters at a camp near Tehran, according to American interrogation reports that the United States has supplied to the Iraqi government.

An American official said the account of Hezbollah's role was provided by four Shiite militia members who were captured in Iraq late last year and questioned separately.

The United States has long charged that the Iranians were training Iraqi militia fighters in Iran, which Iran has consistently denied, and there have been previous reports about Hezbollah operatives in Iraq.

But the Americans say the interrogation reports about Hezbollah's role at the Iranian camp offer important details about Iranian assistance to the militias, including efforts Iran appears to be making to train the fighters in unobtrusive ways.

The interrogation reports were given to the Iraqi government, along with other data about captured Iranian arms, before it sent a delegation to Tehran last week to discuss allegations of Iranian aid to militia groups...

Why have the Iranian borders not been closed completely??

[stravinskyrules]

Not possible. Have you been on the US Mexico or the US Canadian borders?

We are talking about enormous amounts of territory.

If they can set up a system to keep people out of Area 51 with only a handful of guards, it could be done there and along the Mexican border.....oops.....Area 51 doesn’t exist....my bad

Remember that Hezbollah was itself originally trained by North Korea.
