Again, that picture has nothing identifying when or where it was taken. Just because someone claims it is one thing or in one place doesn't make it so. It may be true or maybe not. I'm just saying you can't tell by the pictures you've shown so far.

Having been 'over there' I can tell you from the picture .. color and texture of sand etc. that it is somewhere in the Arabian Gulf .. few places in the world are that ugly ... of course it could be Iran just as easily as Iraq .. would that make ya feel better?
