How is the Iraqi Government going to react to Iran seizing an oil rig earlier today?

So far the Iraqis are playing down the importance of the incident. The oil rig is in a part of Iraq where the precise border between it and Iran is disputed. The area is deserted too. I think it was an irresponsible move by Iran that could raise tensions - a threat that unless we back off on our demands that Iran halt it's nuclear program Iran will cause problems for us in Iraq.
