Flag of Iraq

The flag of Iraq (Arabic: علم العراق) was first used in 2008. It has three horizontal bands of red, white, and black, charged with the takbīr (Allahu akbar, "God is [the] greatest") in green Kufic script, centered on the white stripe.

The flag is based on a flag from 1963 that used to have three stars in the middle, but they were taken off after the Iraq War. After 1991, the president Saddam Hussein put the Takbir on the flag for the first time for support from Muslims.
