Months after pressuring Israel to relinquish control of the Gaza-Sinai border - opening the way for large-scale weapons and explosives smuggling into the Strip - the United States is struggling to stop bomb-making materials being smuggled from Iran into Iraq.

According to reports in the American media Wednesday, the Pentagon is considering ordering the more forceful use of warplanes along the border.
