“Iran remains engaged in terms of providing training and equipment to the most radical and violent forces in Iraq. Attacks by those forces continue,” David Satterfield, the US State Department’s Iraq coordinator, said Thursday.

Attacks on the US-led forces with armour-piercing munitions, suspected to be from Iran, have increased in the recent months, Satterfield said.

The US has repeatedly accused Iran of supporting the insurgents in Iraq to fight against the US-led coalition forces in the country.

Iran has denied the charges.
