Flag of Iraq
Flag Description:
three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black with three green five-pointed
stars in a horizontal line centered in the white band; the phrase ALLAHU AKBAR
(God is Great) in green Arabic script - Allahu to the right of the middle star
and Akbar to the left of the middle star - was added in January 1991 during the
Persian Gulf crisis; similar to the flag of Syria, which has two stars but no
script, Yemen, which has a plain white band, and that of Egypt which has a gold
Eagle of Saladin centered in the white band; design is based upon the Arab Liberation
colors.
