Based on the analysis of 466 Facebook posts trending in Iraq on June 24, 2025, Miqrab AI identified several key narratives. The most dominant theme was the conclusion of the Iran-Israel conflict, with numerous pages covering celebrations of Iran’s declared “victory,” congratulatory messages from Iraqi political and religious figures, and diplomatic efforts by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani to de-escalate regional tensions. Alongside pro-Iran narratives, there was also a wave of satirical and humorous content reacting to the ceasefire. Other significant discussions included domestic issues such as the Khor Abdullah maritime agreement, tragic local accidents, and security incidents involving drone attacks on Iraqi military bases.<\/p>\n
Multiple Iraqi Facebook pages reported on celebrations in Iran and expressions of support from Iraqi figures following the declaration of an Iranian “victory” over Israel. Steven Nabil<\/a> (Post Impact: 83%)<\/strong> and Taraif Al-Alam bi-Euyun Iraqiya (World’s Jokes through Iraqi Eyes)<\/a> (Post Impact: 16%)<\/strong> shared images of popular celebrations in Tehran. In Iraq, Mn Baghdad (From Baghdad)<\/a> (Post Impact: 40%)<\/strong> and Fad Daqiqa (One Minute)<\/a> (Post Impact: 8%)<\/strong> reported on similar celebratory gatherings in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square. Pro-Iranian sentiment was further amplified by politicians’ statements. Khabar Ajel (Breaking News)<\/a> (Post Impact: 54%)<\/strong> quoted Sheikh Hammoudi congratulating the Iranian people and leadership on their “great victory against the entity”<\/em> and what he termed a “heroic Husseini epic.”<\/em> The same page later shared a post quoting Nouri al-Maliki, who also congratulated Iran for what he called a “rare epic that the entity’s history has not witnessed.”<\/em><\/p>\n Following news of a ceasefire, a significant trend emerged on Iraqi Facebook pages featuring humorous and satirical content about the end of the conflict. The page Set Ashwaq um Al-Qanouniya (Lady Ashwaq, Mother of the Law Student)<\/a> (Post Impact: 30%)<\/strong> joked about the situation, posting: “Since the war is over, who wants to buy the bread we bought for half a million? We’ll have a sale.”<\/em> The same page also quipped that the war ended just in time for relatives to focus on the results of the sixth-grade exams. Similarly, Ahmed Alwashah<\/a> (Post Impact: 30%)<\/strong> shared a meme of a person emerging from a hiding place with the caption, “Dude, come out, there’s a ceasefire.”<\/em> These posts reflect a public sentiment of relief and a tendency to process the tense regional events through humor.<\/p>\n The diplomatic efforts of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani to de-escalate regional tensions were a key topic. The Prime Minister’s Media Office<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong>, Al-Mohandes Mohammed Shia Al Sudani<\/a> (Post Impact: 10%)<\/strong>, and Al-Qasr Al-Hukoumi (The Government Palace)<\/a> (Post Impact: 19%)<\/strong> all reported on a phone call between PM Sudani and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. During the call, both leaders stressed the need to prevent the conflict from escalating, urged restraint and dialogue, and called on international bodies to play a role in reducing tensions. The discussion also addressed the ongoing situation in Gaza. This coverage highlights the Iraqi government’s official position of promoting regional stability and avoiding further conflict.<\/p>\n A major security incident was reported across several pages concerning drone attacks on Iraqi military bases. The Iraqi Special Operations Forces<\/a> (Post Impact: 8%)<\/strong> page published an official statement from the Spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief, Sabah al-Numan. The statement confirmed that on June 24, several suicide drones targeted Iraqi military sites, causing significant damage to radar systems at Taji camp north of Baghdad and Imam Ali Air Base in Dhi Qar, with no casualties. It also noted that other attacks were thwarted. The incident sparked discussion on other pages, with Khan Jgaan<\/a> (Post Impact: 8%)<\/strong> reporting on the controversy sparked by activist Abbas al-Ardawi’s claim of Israeli presence at the Taji camp, while Atilla Aga<\/a> (Post Impact: 5%)<\/strong> simply asked, “Who hit the radar!!”<\/em><\/p>\n The page Akher Al-Ahdath Al-Iraqiya (Latest Iraqi Events)<\/a> (Post Impact: 100%)<\/strong> shared a deeply emotional story that garnered the highest engagement of any single post. The post mourned the death of Mohammed Khalil Al-Fahdawi, a young man described as an orphan who worked in construction to support his wife and children. According to the page, he tragically fell from the fifth floor while at work and died instantly. The post expressed immense sorrow, stating, “There is no god but Allah… may God have mercy on him, he lived as an orphan, died as an orphan, and his children became orphans.”<\/em> This story highlights the focus of many Iraqis on human-interest stories and personal tragedies, even amidst major regional events.<\/p>\n A significant domestic political issue was raised by MP Dr. Haider al-Salami<\/a> (Post Impact: 51%)<\/strong> regarding the Khor Abdullah maritime agreement with Kuwait. The MP argued that Kuwait’s representative to the United Nations had, perhaps unintentionally, notified the UN of the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court’s decision declaring the agreement’s ratification unconstitutional. Al-Salami contends that this notification makes the court’s decision officially recognized by the UN. Citing the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, he claims the agreement is void because its ratification violated a fundamental rule of Iraq’s internal law (requiring a two-thirds majority vote). He called for the agreement to be returned to the Iraqi Parliament for a new vote, asserting that “#Khor_Abdullah_Al-Tamimi is 100% Iraqi.”<\/em><\/p>\n News of the normalization of civilian life after the conflict was shared by pages announcing the reopening of Iraqi airspace. Al-Khwa Al-Nadifa (The Clean Brotherhood)<\/a> (Post Impact: 18%)<\/strong> and Baghdad<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong> both reported that Iraq’s airspace was officially reopened to air traffic. The Baghdad page celebrated the news by announcing, “Congratulations \ud83e\udd73 The airspace has officially opened and the first plane has just taken off.”<\/em> This development was presented as a sign of returning to normalcy after the period of heightened military tension in the region, directly affecting travel and commerce in Iraq.<\/p>\n A coordinated narrative critical of militias appeared on multiple pages. The pages Tele Iraq<\/a> (Post Impact: 13%)<\/strong> and Tele Iraq – Media<\/a> (Post Impact: 14%)<\/strong> published identical posts. These posts argued that a positive image of peace and prosperity in Iraq is emerging but is being undermined by armed groups. The text explicitly stated, “It is no longer possible to hide the image of peace and prosperity in Iraq. The militias bring problems,”<\/em> followed by a call for followers to share their opinions. This reflects a specific viewpoint circulating on social media that holds militias responsible for hindering the country’s progress and stability.<\/p>\n The reactions of former U.S. President Donald Trump to the Iran-Israel conflict were covered by several Iraqi news aggregators. Iraqeen W Bas (Iraqis Only)<\/a> (Post Impact: 8%)<\/strong> cited reports from the Jerusalem Post and Washington Post, claiming Trump had raised his voice at Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, demanded a ceasefire, and stated the U.S. would not send troops again to help Israel against Iran. In a separate post, the same page<\/a> (Post Impact: 9%)<\/strong> and Ahmed AlHamdani<\/a> (Post Impact: 5%)<\/strong> shared a quote attributed to Trump that seemed conciliatory towards Iran: “Israel will not attack Tehran and all planes will return after giving a friendly salute to Iran.”<\/em><\/p>\n A statement from religious figure Sayyid Sadr al-Din al-Qubanchi outlining four conditions for ending the war was reported by Markaz Al-Iraqi Al-Khabari (Iraqi News Center)<\/a> (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong> and Taraif Al-Alam bi-Euyun Iraqiya (World’s Jokes through Iraqi Eyes)<\/a> (Post Impact: 10%)<\/strong>. According to the pages, al-Qubanchi’s demands were: 1) Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu must surrender himself to the Islamic Republic; 2) Former U.S. President Trump must provide a personal, handwritten apology to the Islamic Republic; 3) Compensation must be paid for all losses in Iran; and 4) Economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic must be lifted. The circulation of these demanding conditions reflects the pro-Iran perspective that frames the conflict’s end as a surrender by its adversaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Based on the analysis of 466 Facebook posts trending in Iraq on June 24, 2025, Miqrab AI identified several key narratives.
