TEHRAN, May 25 (AFP) - Iranian naval patrol vessels recently traded fire with "amred Iraqi agents disguised as fishermen," the Jomhuri e-Islami daily reported on Saturday.

The incident occurred in the waters of the Persian Gulf, when the Iranian boats arrived on the scene in response to a call for help from an Iranian fishing vessel, the newspaper said without providing further details.

Jomhuri e-Islami said Iranian fishing boats have repeatedly been the target of Iraqi aggressions in recent months.

Sheesh, Iraq can't get along with anybody, not even their own Muslim neighbors. (Of course, they're two different branches of Islam, but still.)

Who says we need to invade Iraq? Let's "encourage" such incidents and restart the Iran/Iraq war. Kill two birds with one stone.
