مشكلة تغيير مجرى شط العرب و تأثيره على تغيير الحدود النهرية بين العراق و إيران : دراسة في الجغرافية السياسية

Abstract EN

Shatt al-Arab River is regarded as a national and international river simultaneously.

Furthermore, it forms the boundary between Iraq and Iran.

Shatt al-Arab River had witnessed certain changes due to geographical factors that are natural or human in nature that led to radical changes in its flow .

This happened mainly as a result of erosion and deposing.

The governmental negligent in Iraq and the wars between the two countries and in the region caused the neglection of Shatt Al-Arab River and increased the change .

As a result , the Iranian boundary expanded upon the Iraqi boundary , particularly where the changes happened where the borderline is the Talooc that is the deepest point in the river .

This change left political and economic effects on the borderline that generally affects the relations between the two countries and affects Iraq especially because of the lack of suitable coasts for trade .
