WASHINGTON—The U.S. District Court heard arguments during the week of Dec. 3 from Iraq War veterans and their families charging Iran with supplying “Explosively Formed Penetrators” (EFPs) to Iraqi insurgents and terrorists to target U.S. forces in the country from 2004 to 2011, during and after the Iraq War.

Gary Osen, lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the case (Karcher, et al. v. The Islamic Republic of Iran), says the evidence “strongly, overwhelmingly implicates [Iran] in a long-term strategy…of killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq, of wounding thousands of U.S. soldiers.”
