Do you distinguish between Iran's government shipping weapons into Iraq (bad), and Iran's arms dealers selling weapons to someone who sells them to someone who sells them to someone who sells them to insurgents in Iraq (business as usual)? This point has been considered and discussed many times if you read the communications from the US and British armies. For a long time they avoided saying that the Iranian government was involved because there is a lot of smuggling and they couldn't prove government involvement. But that changed when they began capturing Quds Forces officers with their records and training materials. Quds Forces are the covert arm of the Revolutionary Guards; they are at the heart of the Iranian government. These guys do not operate without permission of the government and denials are just not credible.
