According to a news conference in Baghdad on May 7, reported by the LA Times, Major General Kevin Bergner and a group of munitions experts inspected captured weapons to find out where they came from.

45 rocket propelled grenades
1800 mortars
575 explosives

After carefully examining each unit, the experts found no logos, no stamps, no unique features, no identification of any kind … zero.

This doesn’t prove they were made in Iran, and doesn’t prove they weren’t. It just proves that knee-jerk reactions are usually wrong and sometimes dangerous.
