Okay. But the other poster and I were discussing the following excerpt from the article:

"In December, US troops detained a number of Iranians in Iraq, including two with diplomatic immunity who were later released. "

So it appears that there are (or were), in fact, issues of diplomatic immunuty at play in the past. And even if these Iranians were thought to be spies, it would still be up to the Iraqi government to decide whether diplomatic immunity should apply.
