AMMAN, Jordan – Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, expressed fresh concern today about Iran’s influence in Iraq and rising sway in Mideast.
McCain, who has just completed his eighth visit to Iraq, said the U.S. military had just discovered a large new cache of “the most lethal” copper explosive devices there, and hinted the explosives had been provided by Iran.

McCain voiced concern that Tehran is bringing militants over the border into Iran for training before sending them back to fight U.S. troops in Iraq, and also blamed Syria for allegedly continuing to “expedite” a flow of foreign fighters.
“We continue to be concerned about Iranian influence and assistance to Hezbollah as well as Iranian pursuit of nuclear weapons,” McCain said.
He added that, if elected president, he would coordinate better with Europe to impose a “broad range of sanctions and punishments” on Tehran, to “convince them that their activities, particularly development of nuclear weapons, is not a beneficial goal to seek.”
