Kuwait and Iraq have exchanged letters over a platform built in a location which both states claim is in their EEZ - see https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/078/80/pdf/n2407880.pdf?token=j8fd7lQItlK6rmgFFT&fe=true and https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/097/01/pdf/n2409701.pdf?token=RfFUpt7vHAxkX7FF0j&fe=true . Kuwait refers to this unilateral decree: https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/Kuwait_Decree_317-2014-E.pdf , Iraq claims the border has not been settled here. We might need to change the line type here to unsettled median line (maritime). Check for further developments.
