伊拉克安全官员说，伊朗军队占领了伊拉克南部的一座油井。该地区位于两伊边界一个有争议的地区。根据现场的报导，伊朗军队在巴格达东南约300公里处的Fakka油田某处插上伊朗国旗。该油田位于伊拉克标定的边界内数百米处。
路透社引述伊拉克官员的话说，11名伊朗士兵星期五下午跨越边界进入伊拉克，在油田插上伊朗国旗，并待在油井旁。官员还补充，伊拉克军队没有采取任何行动，但伊拉克政府将对此事件采取“适当的、外交的回应”。这次事件让人们想起数年前两伊之间的战争。
Iraqi security officials say Iranian forces have occupied an oil well in southern Iraq in a disputed section of the two countries’ border. Reports from the scene, about 300 kilometers southeast of Baghdad (near the city of Amara) say the Iranian troops raised their country’s flag in a portion of the Fakka oil field – several hundred meters from the border as it is demarcated by Iraq.
One account (by Reuters) quotes an Iraqi official (Deputy Interior Minister Ahmed Ali al-Khafaji) who said 11 Iranian soldiers crossed the border at midafternoon Friday, raised their flag and remained at the oil well. The official added that Iraqi forces have not taken any action, and that his government will pursue “a measured, diplomatic response” to the incident, which recalled memories of clashes between the two countries years ago.
