I could not make out the "Made in Iran" decal on the weapon in the low resolution photo. '

The point is this was not made in a terrorist "bomb factory"- it's not made from "recycled" material. It's not a cell phone modified into a triggering mechanism. This was built by an arms manufacturer. Now, it's possible it was made in N Korea instead Iran, but it's unlikely and doesn't really matter, because still would involve the Iranian state [actually it would involve the state to a higher degree].
