#1 Iran has been supplying primitive Katyusha rockets to proxies

Iran has been providing its proxies in Iraq with a primitive version of the Katyusha rocket -- not a Russian weapon as the name would suggest, but a domestic variety produced in Iran.

Iran-backed militias in Iraq have been using these low-flying, short-range rockets in attacks targeting the US embassy and diplomatic missions in Baghdad, the capital's airport and various military bases.

Known as "Fajr1" rockets, these are 107 mm caliber Katyusha rocket clones manufactured by Iran.
