Yes, it says in the article that the British Museum misplaced them a few years back and is so glad they've finally turned up.

Mesopotamia isn't in Iran, but I understand your point.

I'm glad they trademarked history to be honest.

Of course artifacts need a vacation from time to time but they always come back home.

Elliot N Ortiz, CBP’s acting area port director in Philadelphia, said: "Customs and Border Protection officers strive to rescue cultural artifacts from the grips of illicit international traders who plunder and exploit another nation’s heritage for profit.
"The deceptive practices used to smuggle these treasures into the United States not only violate our import laws but also undermine efforts to preserve and protect the integrity of cultural history."

It's like we're a parody of ourselves some days.

There are parts that are in the westernmost area of Iran as it happens (and it'd be pretty weird and obviously bullshit if it followed modern borders exactly) but yeah it's mostly Iraq and Syria now.
