You have recently been making much of the "fact" that no recognised border exists.
Dianavan,the line of the border has played no part in this dispute.
The maps produced by BOTH sides do actualy show the SAME border!
All the dispute has been about which side of that AGREED border events took place.
The initial co ordinates given by Iran were on the Iraqi side of the agreed line.
When that was pointed out, they changed the co ordinates and not the line.
The mischief making pundits and experts on international boundaries ignore the fact that in the absence of a treaty, a practical day to day agreement has to be made or you will have a battle every day.
