'''Iraq''' (kwa Kiarabu العراق, al-ʿIrāq) ni nchi ya [[Asia ya Magharibi]] inayokaliwa hasa na [[Waarabu]] (75-80%) lakini pia na wengine, hasa [[Wakurdi]] 15%). 

Inajumlisha eneo la [[Mesopotamia]] pamoja na sehemu ya [[jangwa la Shamu]] na ya [[milima ya Zagros]]. 

Imepakana na [[Kuwait]], [[Saudia]], [[Yordani]], [[Syria]], [[Uturuki]] na  [[Uajemi]]. Kuna pwani fupi kwenye [[Ghuba ya Uajemi]].

== Jiografia ==
Sehemu kubwa ya Iraq ni [[jangwa]] lakini kuna eneo lenye [[rutuba]] kati ya [[mito]] ya [[Frati]] na [[Hidekeli]]. 

[[Kaskazini]] ni hasa [[nchi ya milima]] inayopanda hadi ya [[kimo]] cha [[m]] 3,611 [[juu ya UB]].  

[[Hali ya hewa]] inalingana na [[mazingira |mazingira]]. Kipindi cha [[kiangazi]] kuna [[joto]] kali. Majira ya [[Desemba]]-[[Februari]] kuna [[halijoto]] ya kupoa [[kusini]] na [[baridi]] kali mlimani.

==Historia==
Iraq ni nchi yenye [[historia]] ndefuː ilikuwa [[kitovu]] cha [[ustaarabu]] wa [[binadamu]], mahali pa [[miji]] ya kwanza [[duniani]] katika [[Sumeri]] na [[Babeli]]. 

Baada ya kusambaratika kwa [[milki]] ya [[Waturuki]] [[Waosmani]] walioitawala muda mrefu, Iraq ilikubaliwa kuwa mwanachama wa [[Shirikisho la Mataifa]] mwaka 1932 [[ingawa]] hali halisi ilikuwa [[nchi lindwa]] chini ya athira ya [[Uingereza]] hadi mwaka [[1958]]. 

Miaka ya hivi karibuni imejulikana hasa kutokana na [[vita]] mbalimbaliː kwanza [[Vita kati ya Irak na Uajemi|vita dhidi ya Uajemi]] chini ya [[serikali]] ya [[Saddam Hussein]] tangu [[1981]], baadaye [[Vita ya Ghuba ya 1990/91|vita dhidi ya Kuwait na Marekani]]. 

[[Vita vya pili vya ghuba]] ya [[2003]] iliyoleta uvamizi wa [[Marekani]] ilizidi kuleta [[Kifo|vifo]] na [[uharibifu]]. 

Hatimaye [[vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe]] vilivyoingiliwa na [[DAESH]] iliyoteka sehemu kubwa ya nchi, hasa kaskazini na [[magharibi]], hadi mwishoni mwa mwaka [[2017]].

==Watu==
[[Lugha rasmi]] na ya kwanza ni [[Kiarabu]], ikifuatwa na [[Kikurdi]] ambayo pia imekuwa lugha rasmi, halafu [[lugha]] nyingine za jamii mbalimbali ambazo pengine zinatambulika kieneo.

Wakazi wengi (95%), hasa baada ya vita vya hivi karibuni, ni [[Waislamu]], wakiwemo kwanza [[Washia]] halafu na [[Wasuni]]. [[Wakristo]] waliobaki ni 5%, wakiwemo hasa waamini wa [[Kanisa Katoliki la Wakaldayo]] na [[Waashuru]] wa [[Waorthodoksi wa Mashariki|Kanisa la Mashariki]].

== Uchumi ==
Iraq ina [[akiba]] kubwa za [[mafuta ya petroli]] [[ardhi|ardhini]]. Mapato kutokana na mafuta yalileta [[maendeleo]] makubwa nchini hadi mwanzo wa kipindi cha vita vilivyoharibu sana nchi pamoja na [[uchumi]] wake.
