New York: The US military said it found caches of new Iranian weapons in Iraq, according to a report on Friday.

The latest find has led senior officials to think that Iran is still shipping weapons to Iraq despite a pledge not to, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The United States plans to publicize the caches in coming days, the report said, quoting two senior commanders.

US and Iraqi officials said the newly made arms, consisting of mortars, rockets and explosives, had date stamps indicating they were manufactured in the past two months.
