Iran rejects US charges on arming militants

IRAN yesterday rejected US accusations that the highest levels of Iranian leadership have armed Shi’ite militants in Iraq with armour-piercing roadside bombs.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a televised interview that problems in Iraq should be solved with dialogue, not by force.

“There should be a court to prove the case and to verify the case. The position of our government...is also the same. We are opposed to any kind of conflict in Iraq,” Ahmadinejad said.
