| Description | The US military said on Sunday there had been a dramatic drop in the number of Iranian weapons being smuggled into Iraq but no let-up in Tehran's training and financing of Iraqi militias.
Washington has accused Tehran of supplying Shiite militias with sophisticated weapons, including deadly armour-piercing bombs known as explosively formed penetrators (EFPs), to attack American troops. Tehran denies the charge.
"We do believe that the number of signature weapons that have come from Iran ... are down dramatically. We do not think levels of training have been reduced at all. We don't believe levels of financing are reduced," US military spokesman Rear Admiral Greg Smith told reporters in Baghdad.
