The result of the new diplomacy:
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.
There is no risk for Iran, here. They know Obama will not react with any force. They know the Iraqis are not in a position to act on their own. Meanwhile, this will spike oil prices helping Iran make money and, of course, it can be used as a blind in order to confuse the issue of Iran’s nuclear program. The Iranian mullahs perceive our weakness and are acting accordingly.
We can expect more and more of this as time goes on.
