US intelligence believes that a cache of manufactured bombs seized in Iraq about two weeks ago was smuggled into the country from Iran by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
"We believe they came from Iran's Revolutionary Guards," the official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The find is significant not only because of the Iranian connection but also because it indicates manufactured bombs are now being introduced in a conflict that has seen the use of mainly improvised explosive devices.
"I think we believe there is more of them out there, that this is just the first cache we've actually obtained," the official said. He said intelligence analysts had "fairly high confidence" that the bombs came from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday that weapons "unambiguously from Iran" have been found in Iraq, and said it was "unhelpful" of Teheran to allow such weapons to cross the border.
"It is true that weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq," Rumsfeld told reporters.
He would not comment on whether there was official Iranian involvement in the transfer of weapons, but said: "It's a big border and unhelpful for Iranians to be allowing weapons those of types to be crossing the border."

Associated Press
CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush said Tuesday that he's deeply suspicious about Iran's nuclear ambitions, but that the country's new leader has indicated a willingness to negotiate.
Bush said he got word Tuesday that the newly elected president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said he is willing to work with other nations amid concerns that his country is developing nuclear weapons.
"Just as I was walking in here, I received word that the new Iranian president said he was willing to get back to the table," Bush told reporters at a brief question-and-answer session at his Texas ranch.
"If he did say that, I think that's a positive sign that the Iranians are getting a message, that it's not just the United States that's worried about their nuclear programs, but the Europeans are serious in calling the Iranians to account and negotiating," he said.
