    * Iraqi officials show proof of Iranian support for militias
    * U.S. military official says some Iranian arms made in 2008

    BAGHDAD, May 2 (Reuters) - An Iraqi delegation in Iran has confronted Iranian security officials with evidence that Tehran is providing support for Shi'ite militias battling Iraqi government forces, an Iraqi official said on Friday. "They presented a list of names, training camps and cells linked to Iran," Haidar al-Ibadi, a member of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Dawa party, told Reuters.

    ^^ Quoted from your article linked above-

    "Analysts say Tehran wants to keep a friendly, Shi'ite-led government in charge but wants to ensure rival Iraqi Shi'ite factions look to the Islamic Republic as a power broker.
    They also say Iran wants a stable Iraq, after fighting a bloody war with its neighbour in the 1980s. But at the same time Iran does not want to give its long-time foe, the United States, an easy ride lest it considers military action in its row with Tehran."

    I'd say thats the long and short of it.
