AMARAH, Iraq, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Iranian forces withdrew from an oil field in Maysan province to their side of the border following diplomatic negotiations, the provincial governor said.
Engineers accompanied Iranian troops to take control of well No. 4 at the Fakkah oil field in Maysan province Dec. 18. Iranian forces eventually pulled back, but only about 160 feet from their original location.
Mohammad Shaya al-Sudani, the provincial governor of Maysan, told the Voices of Iraq news agency the situation was under control.
"The diplomatic efforts exerted by the Iraqi government, mainly the visit of Iranian foreign minister and his meetings with Iraqi officials, led to the withdrawal of Iranian forces from the Fakkah oil field," he said.
Iraq says the oil field lies within its territory, through the Iranian side disputes the claim. Iranian news outlets, however, blamed Western media for exaggerating the severity of the issue.
The border between the two countries remains unsettled from the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Sudani said both sides agreed to set up a joint committee to work on border demarcation.
