    About our Iraq news

    Latest news on Iraq, providing comprehensive coverage of politics, security, oil industry, Kurdistan region, reconstruction efforts, and developments across Mesopotamia's ancient heartland.

    Iraq, a nation of approximately 43 million people straddling the historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers, plays a crucial role in Middle Eastern geopolitics and the global energy market. Under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani's leadership, the country continues its efforts to strengthen democratic institutions while managing relations between its diverse ethnic and religious communities.

    Current developments focus on Iraq's economic diversification efforts beyond oil dependency, with the government implementing reforms to attract foreign investment. Regional tensions, including recent cross-border conflicts and the presence of foreign military forces, remain significant challenges. The country's relationship with neighbouring Iran, ongoing reconstruction efforts in former conflict zones, and the status of the Kurdistan Regional Government continue to shape national politics.

    Despite historical challenges, Iraqi culture demonstrates remarkable resilience. Baghdad's traditional markets (souqs) bustle with life, while cultural festivals celebrate the nation's rich heritage. The restoration of archaeological sites, including ancient Babylon and Ur, alongside efforts to recover looted antiquities, highlights Iraq's commitment to preserving its historical legacy. The country's contemporary art scene, particularly in cities like Baghdad and Erbil, showcases emerging talent alongside traditional crafts.

    Modern Iraq emerged from the Ottoman Empire's collapse, experiencing significant transformations through monarchy, republic, and various conflicts. The ancient land of Mesopotamia, birthplace of writing and early urban civilisation, continues to influence Iraqi identity. Recent history, marked by sanctions, warfare, and subsequent reconstruction, has shaped the nation's contemporary challenges and opportunities.

    Our NewsNow feed delivers comprehensive coverage from trusted local and international sources, ensuring readers stay informed about Iraq's political developments, security situation, economic initiatives, and cultural achievements. Whether you're an investor, policy maker, or simply interested in Middle Eastern affairs, our feed provides essential updates on Iraq's evolving story and its path toward stability and prosperity.
