ImageWASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says U.S. soldiers are still finding large numbers of Iranian-made weapons in Iraq, despite's Iran's denials.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell says a large cache of Iranian explosives was found a week ago, and the top U.S. general in Iraq recently told reporters about another large find.

Morrell says the military also sees evidence of Iranian training among Iraqi terrorist groups.

Iran denies that it is meddling in Iraq, and Iran is hosting the Iraqi foreign minister for meetings Tuesday in Tehran.

Morrell also cited Syria, saying that foreign fighters are still coming into Iraq over the Syrian border.
