Iranian forces take over Iraq oil well

NASIRIYAH, Iraq (AFP) – Iranian forces took control of a southern Iraqi oil well on a disputed section of the border on Friday, US and Iraqi officials told AFP.

"There has been no violence related to this incident and we trust this will be resolved through peaceful diplomacy between the governments of Iraq and Iran," a US military spokesman told AFP at Contingency Operating Base Adder, just outside the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah.

"The oil field is in disputed territory in between Iranian and Iraqi border forts," he said, adding that such incidents occur quite frequently.

An official of the state-owned South Oil Co in the southeastern city of Amara, and west of the field, said: "An Iranian force arrived at the field early this morning (Friday).

"It took control of Well 4 and raised the Iranian flag even though the well lies in Iraqi territory," the official added.

I am very amused at the sheer balls of the Iranians. They're getting all sort of heat and bullying from the US about their alleged uranium enrichment program. They don't mind too much. Instead they just march into Iraq and take over an oilfield, and raise an Iranian flag on it.

they are trying to provoke the US because they have instability at home.
They want US to do soemthing rash so they can say the US is trying to put the shah back in power again or somesuch to get the poeple behind them.
The best thing to do is ignore them.

Indeed, not to feed the troll.

What is to say they nuke us? Then we'd turn rash.

They don't want a nuclear war they want us to go drive them out of Iraq.
That way they can tell their citizens see the US is attacking us they are going to bring the long dead shah and put him back in power using their great Satan powers.

What I find even more funny is that USA think they can tell people not have nuclear bombs, when they have they have some.

U.S. is scared.... The U.S. really only has a few Nuclear Weopens ready to fire. Even though 3/4 of Russia's and U.S.'s nuclear missiles from the cold war are locked down in bunkers. 1/4 are still out there! (Some said around 200,000 nuclear weopens were made in the Cold War. If 1/4 is still out there.....)

200 000? Methinks someone exaggerated a bit. More like 10 000 between the five nuclear powers. 25 000 at the most.

I was talking about the cold war arsenal...... Yeah they have exaggerated. But still to have 1/4 of the Cold War Nuclear Arsenal not under high security bunkers. lets say theres 20,000. 1/4 still out there means there are 5,000 nuclear weopens still out there either under light protection or being transported to security bunkers.

Aye, it's like when the Argentine dictatorship attacked the Falklands in a last-ditch attempt to gain somekind of success. The difference being that the Argentine dictatorship counted on military success to win.

...not that a single oil well is anything like the Falklands.

[Blackledge]

What I find even more funny is that USA think they can tell people not have nuclear bombs, when they have they have some.

Exactly. Its like governments not letting certain people own weapons. Just because someone is a little crazy in the head doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to purchase a shotgun.

Oh wait...

[Hydesland]

[Greed and Death]

I'm wondering how we report this to a moderator?

either way, this is...unacceptable

Clinton would be bombing something by now
Bush would be Invading something
Obama will be......talking it out?

Not exactly, all three would do little more sanctions that Clinton put in place, and a few words.
The reason being the political advisers of Iranian descent advise against invasion or bombing. Largely because they were students in the late 70's early 80's who helped run out American influence only to be run out themselves.

The political advisers from Iraq however tended to be from Rich families that Saddam ran out. Leading to a different outlook on American interventionism.

[EvilDarkMagicians]

What I find even more funny is that all the countries that have nuclear bombs think they can tell other countries that do not have nuclear bombs, not to have nuclear bombs when they have they have some.

Don't forget the UK.

Fixed for clarity.

[Winland Islands]

With the gulf straits,the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the proxy group Hezbollah in Lebanon the Iranians have options to retaliate against international interests.They are used to sanctions. So they will just keep trolling and trolling and trolling....Unfortunate that this situation could have been prevented with smarter foreign policy in the past. At one point in time Iran and the us were working together against the Taliban and Iran offered at one point to take measures against Hezbollah. Now all sides are doing it wrong, Iran and its hardline regime trying to gain support at home,America and its past foreign policy decisions. So we might soon have war. Or they could be just ignored as if military action is taken the entire population would rally behind the regime.

Still enough to kill off most of the human species. When you can do that several times over in reality, exaggerating the number of nukes is ludicrous.

If Iran is Trolling, then wouldn't that make the US guilty of Flamebait?

I'm the second to sig this. By the way, guess who I am on dA.

OT: Iran is freaking awesome.

Lets be honest you can't have nuclear weapons when your country is so unstable and lets bw honest anyone who played call of duty 4 will know that the chance of nuke theft is gonna be pretty high in Iran, or they might start giving them to terrorists. :/

[Winland Islands]

The problem with a nuclear armed Iran is that it would take an already effed up region and set off a nuclear arms race. Neighboring India and Pakistan have got the bomb but as a deterrent to each other while Iraq,the traditional enemy of Iran ,has been taken care of. Besides regional influence ,pride, and trolling its neighbors and the world they have no need for such a bomb.

Call of Duty. You take your knowledge of how this will work out from Call of motherfreaking Duty.

I don't think I should have to say much more about this.

[The Nekron Combine]

Even North Korea isn't as stupid as Iran and recognises MAD. Or it may have something to do with the fact that they have only one nuclear ICBM and would get their arses handed to them in a nuclear war.

[Kaesekartoffeln]

Here's an interesting article on Iran.

Your missing the point, what I'm pointing out is Iran's no where near as stable as the present holders of nuclear weapons; the country's security is too volatile, this year we've probably come within a week of a counter revolution that was averted by the Iranian police, if Iran has nuclear weapons and the police fail to stop a counter revolution the weapons could fall into anyone's hands.

I was simply pointing out Call of Duty as the example of a 'what if' scenario.

No. CoD became horribly mainstream after CoD2
