{{Short description|1=Overview of and topical guide to Iraq}}{{See also|Index of Iraq-related articles}}{{double image|right|Flag of Iraq.svg|191|Coat of arms of Iraq.svg|92|The Flag of Iraq|The Coat of arms of Iraq}}The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Iraq: Iraq – sovereign country located in Western Asia.[1] Iraq spans most of the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range, the eastern part of the Syrian Desert and the northern part of the Arabian Desert.[2] It shares borders with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to the south, Jordan to the west, Syria to the northwest, Turkey to the north, and Iran to the east. It has a very narrow section of coastline at Umm Qasr on the Persian Gulf. There are two major flowing rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. These provide Iraq with agriculturally capable land and contrast with the desert landscape that covers most of Western Asia. {{TOC limit|limit=2}} General reference - Pronunciation: ɪˈrɑːk
