Ironic detail du jour: Iranian-made E.F.P.s killing Shiites in Iraq

Another load of Iranian munitions was intercepted in Iraq according to this New York Times dispatch:

American soldiers today detained an alleged cell of smugglers who procured powerful, armor piercing bombs and other weapons from Iran, the military said. The operation came in a raid, and it was one in a series aimed at stopping the flow of a type of powerful roadside bomb known as explosively formed projectiles, or E.F.P.s, into Iraq, said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a spokesman for the Multi-National Force Iraq.

Ironically, as the Times goes on to report, "Most of the attacks using [these Iranian-made] E.F.P.s have been in the eastern areas of the city which is predominantly Shiite."

This means that unwittingly or not, the Shiite regime in Tehran is supplying the very munitions that are killing its coreligionists in Iraq. How's that for irony?
