The Iranians think it comes from Iraq too:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, chief adviser to Iran's supreme leader, said on Friday the United States was paying the price for supplying anthrax to Iraq, which fought a bitter war with the Islamic Republic in the 1980s. ``They knew anthrax was not a conventional weapon of war, but they supplied it to Iraq ... Now anthrax which they themselves sent to this region is back to haunt them,'' Rafsanjani told worshippers gathered for weekly prayers at Tehran University.

As do apparently the Czechs and the Germans from what I have read on FR today.

Yes, the Iranians think Iraq is behind the anthrax. And Woolsey said on Wolf Blitzer's Sunday show that he thinks Iran is providing the U.S. with intelligence in the war on terror. And Arnaud de Borchgrave went on to say, later in the show, that he knew for a fact that Iran was providing such intelligence, and that he even knew the identity of the Iranian contact man.
