For those looking for some travel info in German (I suspect Swiss German), have a look at Reisetipps Nordirak/Kurdistan, who also kindly linked here.
Those US hikers who wandered into Iran are now going to be put on trial for spying. Some people on this forum believe they must be CIA. I suspect the CIA would be a lot more professional than sending young hippie hikers to check out the border. From the little I've read of those arrested, they don't seem to be spy types. The Iranian foreign minister said the hikers had "suspicious aims."

Dinar
I am familiar with the area where the hikers entered into Iran ... Ahmed Awa ... a very popular tourist area (for local tourism anyway). There is a trail along a mountain stream leading to a beautiful waterfall (despite all the tea shops, water diversion pipes, and resultant trash build-up). The trail keeps going on past the waterfall and apparently the hikers just kept going. From a hikers perspective it would have been hard to resist and no one probably thought to point out to them the proximity of the border (which generally is not marked in any way)
