NEW YORK (AP) - The top U.S. commander in Iraq said in an interview released Monday that it's "indisputable" Iran is training and arming militants to fight against U.S.-led troops in Iraq.

Gen. David Petraeus also told ABC News that suicide bombers are streaming across Iraq's border from Syria and making their way into the country's volatile western Anbar province.

His comments follow a harsh exchange of words over the weekend between the U.S. and Iran at a conference in Baghdad on Iraq's security. The U.S. envoy to the talks, David Satterfield, said he had evidence that Iran was arming Shiite Muslim militias in Iraq, which his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, vehemently denied. He called such accusations a "cover" for U.S. failures in Iraq.

At the conference, both Iran and Syria pledged to support moves to stabilize Iraq, including reconciliation among Iraq's factions. But U.S. and Iraqi leaders have questioned Iran's commitment to backing such American-led efforts.

In the interview with ABC, Petraeus said cooperation from Iran and Syria would be key to stopping the violence in Iraq.

He said there are elements of Iran's Revolutionary Guards elite Quds Force that are training fighters and sending them into Iraq to fight U.S.-led forces. He said Iran is also sending "rockets, mortars and other explosives and munitions" into the country.

"That's indisputable and again it's a very, very problematic situation four our soldiers and Iraqi soldiers," he told ABC.

"And if it's something that can be brought to a halt through these initiatives of the Iraqi government, we would applaud that vigorously," he said, referring to the talks in Baghdad aimed at bringing security to the country.

Well GIX, if the state of New York was invaded and occupied by a foreign army, wouldn't the state of New Jersey, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and maybe even Canada come to the aide of New York!!

What's wrong Gix, you getting tired of beating the war drums to bomb Iran?

What's wrong Gix, are you wanting to expand the war in the Middle East!

I wonder if Haliburton will start manufacturing the bombs the insurgents are using against the USA. War time profits are always best when you can sell to both sides.

Yeah since Halliburton left the jurisdiction of U.S. Laws, those money grubbing bastards can do anything they want now, just to turn a profitt!

Rasta, you would be right, if Iran, Syria and Iraq were a combined nation. Next ?

Considering the last exchange, two weeks ago, when Bush was saying he had "indisputable" proof Iraq was getting its weapons from Iran, maybe this claim is safer. It's not like our government is going to parade out dead enemies with "Made in the UAE" tattooed in Arabic on their foreheads. I'm still laughing about their captured weapons showing “indisputable” evidence of Iran's involvement which had “made in the UAE” in Arabic. They didn't notice until after all the photographs had been taken and then journalists started pointing out the truth to them.
