vided guidance and training to select Iraqi Shia po-
litical groups, and weapons and training to Shia
militant groups to enable anti-Coalition attacks. Ira-
nian government forces have been responsible for at
least some of the increasing lethality of anti-Coalition
attacks by providing Shia militants with the capa-
bility to build IEDs with explosively formed projec-
tiles similar to those developed by Iran and Lebanese
Hezbollah. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard was
linked to armor-piercing explosives that resulted in
the deaths of Coalition Forces.’’
(4) In an interview published on June 7, 2006,
Zalmay Khalilzad, then-United States ambassador to
Iraq, said of Iranian support for extremist activity in
Iraq, ‘‘We can say with certainty that they support
groups that are attacking coalition troops. These
groups are using the same ammunition to destroy ar-
mored vehicles that the Iranians are supplying to
Hezbollah in Lebanon. They pay money to Shiite mi-
litias and they train some of the groups. We can’t say
whether Teheran is supporting Al Qaeda, but we do
know that Al Qaeda people come here from Pakistan
through Iran. And Ansar al Sunna, a partner organi-
zation of Zarqawi’s network, has a base in northwest
Iran.’’

of financing, the level of training on Iranian soil, the
level of equipping some sophisticated technologies. . .
even advice in some cases, has been very, very sub-
stantial and very harmful.’’

said of Iranian support for extremist activity in Iraq,
‘‘We know that it goes as high as [Brig. Gen. Qassem]
Suleimani, who is the head of the Qods Force. . .. We
believe that he works directly for the supreme leader
of the country.’’
(7) On May 27, 2007, then-Major General Wil-
liam Caldwell, spokesperson for Multi-National Force-
Iraq, said, ‘‘What we do know is that the Iranian in-
telligence services, the Qods Force, is in fact both
training, equipping, and funding Shia extremist
groups. . . both in Iraq and also in Iran. . .. We have

that the consequences of a premature withdrawal from

(A) Al Qaeda would attempt to use Anbar

(C) sectarian violence would significantly

human suffering, regional destabilization, and a

(10) A recent editorial in the New York Times

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Iraq continues to experience a self-sustaining
cycle of sectarian violence.
(2) The ongoing sectarian violence presents a
threat to regional and world peace, and the long-term
security interests of the United States are best served
by an Iraq that is stable, not a haven for terrorists,
and not a threat to its neighbors.
(3) A central focus of al Qaeda in Iraq has been
to turn sectarian divisions in Iraq into sectarian vio-
lence through a concentrated series of attacks, the
most significant being the destruction of the Golden
Dome of the Shia al-Askariyah Mosque in Samarra
in February 2006.
