What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Iraq adopted the pan-Arab red-white-black tricolor in 1963 with three green stars for a hoped-for union with Egypt and Syria. Saddam Hussein added 'Allahu Akbar' between the stars during the 1991 Gulf War; in 2004 the script was redone in Kufic calligraphy, and in 2008 the stars were removed, leaving only the takbir.
✨ Did you know?
The takbir added in 1991 was reportedly modeled on Saddam Hussein's own handwriting — one reason it was replaced with neutral Kufic script after his fall.
