2. How the demarcation of the maritime boundary between Iran and Kuwait will be necessary for Iran, Kuwait, and KSA to benefit from the field;
3. Why asserting its rights to this field is important for Iran’s domestic politics; and
4. How this represents a good test case for the rapprochements between Iran and GCC states.
