11. Linked citation goes here Iraq shares its borders with Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, and Turkey. This has been known to cause trouble for Iraq in the past. They have always seemed to feud with their neighbors, most notably Kuwait and Iran. This may be because the countries still argue over the boundaries made by Great Britain after they left.
