What is Iran up to in Iraq ?

BBC News: Reports that troops from Iran have taken over an Iraqi oil well on the border between Iran and Iraq. This could be a crafty move by Iran, one can postulate that Tehran wants the USA to move them out, then they can say that Tehran was taking back an oil well that belonged to Iran and that USA was really in charge in Iraq. On the other hand if Baghdad sends in the troops, Tehran could back up its outpost with more troops, this could drag in the USA. A very crafty move by Tehran, another humiliation for Obama. At its most basic this is a play for time, a diversion while Iran goes nuclear, always recall that folks, any story like this is a diversion from the real issue, Iran and the bomb.
