The flag of Iraq (Arabic: علم العراق‎) has had a number of different designs since the Kingdom of Iraq was established in 1921. The current flag was adopted in 2008 for a year and is intended to be an interim measure until a permanent solution to the flag issue is found. Note that, as with other flags inscribed with Arabic script — in this case Allahu Akbar ("God is greater") — the hoist is to the right of the obverse (front) of the flag.
