What is symbol of iraq?

The national emblem or symbol of Iraq is composed of a gold colored eagle bearing a shield surmounted by a turban. The eagle is standing on a rectangular platform with palm trees depicted at the base. The shield contains the image of the Sun rising over the Zagros Mountains, which depicts the history and geography of Iraq. The Arabic phrase “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) is written in Kufic script on the top of the shield.

The emblem was adopted by the Iraqi government on April 10, 2008, after the fall of Saddam Hussein. The design was created by the artist Rifat Chadirji in 1965, but it was not used as the official emblem until 2008. The eagle is a symbol of strength and freedom, while the shield represents the defense of Iraq. The turban on top of the eagle’s head indicates Islamic tradition and identity. The palm trees represent the agricultural wealth of the country. The emblem is prominently displayed on the national flag, official documents, and public buildings in Iraq.
