Flag of Iraq - National Symbol and Historical Significance #146936 (License: Personal Use)

Iraq’s current flag consists of three equal horizontal bands-red (top), white (middle), and black (bottom)-with three green five-pointed stars and the Takbir “الله أكبر” (Allahu Akbar) in green Kufic script centered on the white band. The design reflects pan-Arab colors and Islamic identity, updated after the 2003 invasion to remove Saddam Hussein’s handwriting and restore a more neutral national symbol.
