Iraq

About the flag

The flag displayed here represents Iraq, distinguished by its three horizontal stripes of red, white, and black, along with the Inscription of the Takbīr ("Allahu Akbar") in green. This design is closely tied to the Arab Liberation colors, which symbolize Arab unity and independence. Iraq's current flag was officially adopted in 2008, but its design has historical roots, echoing the flags used during the Pan-Arab movement in the 20th century. To help you remember, think of Iraq's connection to its historical context and the significance of the colors representing the struggle for sovereignty and respect among Arab nations. Recognizing the flag is not just about identifying colors and symbols; it’s about understanding Iraq’s rich history and its position in the Arab world.
