Well not quite, but they have crossed the border and taken control of a oil well.

What are your thoughts on this? Personally I think that Iran has so many issues within its own borders that it is trying to start a war. I think they figure that if they can create a common enemy for the Iranian people that the people may get behind the govt. They seem to be desparate to start a fight with someone. I would think that the Iranian people may be a bit too smart for this, and will continue to erode the governments authority regardless.Brisbane Times wrote:
The diplomatic and security standoff began late on Thursday when Iranian forces crossed into Iraq and seized the well that sits just over the border in the southern Maysan province. It was a dramatic display of the occasionally tense relations between the wary neighbours.
The takeover - which included planting an Iranian flag on the well - was met by protests from Baghdad and an emergency meeting of Iraq's national security council that denounced it as a gross violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
