Iraq is looking for a peaceful and diplomatic settlement to this issue," said government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh.  Iraq's deputy interior minister said earlier that 11 Iranian soldiers had crossed the Iran-Iraq border on Friday afternoon, the latest in a series of recent incursions, and taken position at an oil well in the remote desert border area. Iran denied the incursion into Iraqi territory.<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BH46920091218" target="_blank">Reuters</a></blockquote>
