Flynt Leverett, a senior fellow at the New American Foundation, and a Middle East specialist who worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and on the staff of the National Security Council, said he believed that Iran was supplying munitions to Shiite militias. But Mr. Leverett said the threat to American troops from Sunni insurgents, who draw on Syria and Saudi Arabia for money and other logistical support, was "orders of magnitude" greater than that from Shiites, and he contended that the Bush administration's public emphasis on the EFP's was part of a larger administration strategy to blame Iran "for the failure of the American project in Iraq."
