Sooner or later the Iranian envelope is going to be pushed too far. On Thursday night Iranian forces captured an Iraqi oil well that is along a disputed border.
According to BBC
An Iraqi official played down the incident, saying the area was abandoned and right on a disputed border section.
Iranian soldiers crossed the border and raised an Iranian flag over the Fakkah oil field, a US military spokesman told the AFP news agency.
Iraq’s Deputy Interior Minister confirmed the Iranians stayed in Iraq and were in control of the well.
This is not the first time Iranian forces have crossed the border in the past few days. The latest report is that the Iranian forces are “awaiting orders from our leader.”
