Well, probably not, but in the annals of the Iranians never missing an opportunity to freak out the rest of the world, seizing an Iraqi oil field is pretty much on top of the list:
Iranian forces have occupied a southern Iraqi oil well in a disputed section of the border after opening fire against Iraqi oil workers, an official from state-run Missan Oil Co. said.
“Two weeks ago around 10 to 11 Iranian troops occupied well 4 in al-Fukka oil field after Iraqi oil workers started work in the well near the border,” the official who is familiar with the story said.
The official said Iranian troops opened fire against the workers who fled the worksite immediately. The fire caused no casualties, he said. Then the troops occupied the well and raised Iranian flag around the well, he added.
It’s like the Iranian regime truly wants the Arab world to get on board with sanctions.
