Iran`s supreme leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Wednesday dismissed as a "sheer lie" US charges that the Islamic republic was supplying arms and training to "insurgents" killing US occupation troops in Iraq. "The idiotic policies of the United States in Iraq have led to the killing of its troops," state television quoted his eminence as saying. "The US administration is faced with criticism from its own people over its wrong policies. It wrongly accuses Iran as it has no answers," he told thousands of student members of the Basij group in Tehran.
The United States accuses Iran of seeking to "sabotage security" in Iraq by allegedly supplying weapons, including rockets, armor-piercing explosives and mines that have killed US occupation soldiers.
