After Iraq became independent from the Ottoman Empire in the wake of the first scientific war and became an independent state, it inherited the treaties concluded by that empire for the Iraqi region in accordance with the rules of international law. There is no doubt that upon the independence of Iraq, Iran should not have raised any problem with the borders between the two countries, as the Boundary Commission for the year 1914 had installed the borders between the two countries on the ground according to what was mentioned in the Astana Protocol of 1913 based on the Second Erzurum Treaty in 1847. Which explicitly stipulated that both parties give up all their territorial claims in the others territories and not interfere in internal affairs.
