I would accuse Iran of many things, but am not inclined to think they would be desparate to get a bunch of old bodies. Even if they are my enemies, I am in favor of seeing dead soldiers' remains repatriated that they may rest in their own ground...Hopefully, we'll all be on the same side once we cross the river. My enemies are the ones who are alive and shooting at us.

Iran does try to get all its war dead back, and they returned a lot of dead Iraqis, in coffins and with labels (like these in the warehouse.)

Wilfred Owen bump!
It seemed out of battle I escaped
Down some profund dull tunnel ...
Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared
With piteous recognition in fixed eyes ...
By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell ...
I am the enemy you killed, my friend.
I knew you in this dark; for so you frowned.
Yesterday through me as you jabbed and killed.
I parried: but my hands were loath and cold.
Let us sleep now ...

While I can understand with a country wanting their MIA/KIA's returned home for proper burial, I dont think I like their demanding tone and I would tell them they will just have to hold their damn cookies until we can positively verify the remains.
