Over the years Iran and Iraq have not had good border relations, and the border itself has been violated many times. So I am going to start tracking border incidents from now on.
On Thursday some Iranian troops took over an oil well in Iraq near the border in Southern Iraq.
Oil well No. 4 was taken over by 11 Iranian troops. Iraqi forces are massing a kilometer (about half a mile) away.
Iran rejected the claim before admitting it and then claiming the well as Iranian.
Ongoing situation, do keep track as no word from Israel yet.
