Indeed, the U.S. allegations appear to be based on speculation, spurred by the appearance about a year ago of a new breed of roadside bomb in Iraq.... But no concrete evidence has emerged in public that Iran was behind the weapons. U.S. officials have revealed no captured shipments of such devices and offered no other proof.

This is how propaganda works. You keep telling the lie that it becomes de-facto true, just because so many people heard it (no doubt helped by the millions spent on publicizing the lie in the media). Over a year later, it turns out there is actually NO EVIDENCE! All that time, all those accusations were based on this: "the copper slugs used in EFPs had to be precisely tooled with a heavy press in order to work properly, they said; no such heavy presses were in operation in Iraq, according to the Americans, therefore the slugs had to have been machined in Iran and moved into Iraq." They almost bombed Tehran based on this! And if Joe Lieberman, Dick Cheney and friends had their way, it would have happened by now.
