Based on an analysis of 446 Facebook posts trending on February 11, 2026, Miqrab AI identified several key narratives circulating in Iraq. The most engaging topics included local development projects, with viral posts showcasing what was dubbed the “smartest sidewalk in the world” in Diwaniyah, alongside a major political initiative to amend the Internal Security Forces law, which garnered significant support from members of parliament. Other prominent themes involved public outcry over the hit-and-run death of a woman named Zainab, government decisions on customs tariffs and oil smuggling, and ongoing discussions about regional security, particularly the increased U.S. military presence in the Middle East. Political developments, such as meetings between Prime Minister Al-Sudani and Nouri Al-Maliki, also featured prominently.<\/p>\n
A video showing a newly constructed sidewalk in Diwaniyah, described as the “smartest in the world,” has captured significant attention. The post by Ammar Al-Hilfi<\/a> (Post Impact: 100%)<\/strong> sarcastically highlights the project. Another video from the same page<\/a> (Post Impact: 29%)<\/strong> shows the entrance to Diwaniyah, continuing the focus on local infrastructure developments in the province. The high engagement suggests a strong public reaction, likely satirical, to the quality and nature of these municipal projects.<\/p>\n A major initiative is underway to amend the law governing the Internal Security Forces. MP Aziz Nasser<\/a> (Post Impact: 100%)<\/strong> announced that, in collaboration with over seventy other MPs, signatures have been collected to advance a proposed amendment, pledging to remain committed to the cause for the “heroes of the Interior”<\/em> and their families. Mustafa Sanad<\/a> (Post Impact: 15%)<\/strong> also shared a post about a meeting with Interior Minister Abdul Amir Al-Shammari. In a related post, Diyala TV<\/a> (Post Impact: 4%)<\/strong> reported on the collection of signatures to make Interior Ministry contracts permanent and add risk allowances to their salaries.<\/p>\n Facebook pages are covering the tragic death of a woman named Zainab, who was killed in a hit-and-run incident. Hayder Al-Hamdani<\/a> (Post Impact: 88%)<\/strong> shared a video detailing the case, stating Zainab was run over by an unknown person who then “fled from the grip of justice.”<\/em> The post questions the perpetrator’s conscience, asking, “Where is your jealousy, where is your manhood?”<\/em>. Similarly, Hayder Khalaf Ghazi<\/a> (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong> posted a photo of the victim, promising to reveal more details about her case.<\/p>\n The Iraqi government has made two significant economic and security decisions. Al-Khwa Al-Nadifa<\/a> (Post Impact: 41%)<\/strong> reported that the Federal Supreme Court rejected a legal challenge against the increase in customs tariffs, citing a lack of standing. In a separate post, the same page announced that the Council of Ministers has decided to halt approvals for new factories that rely on oil derivatives as primary materials. According to Al-Khwa Al-Nadifa<\/a> (Post Impact: 27%)<\/strong>, this move is accompanied by “firm measures to prevent the smuggling of oil derivatives.”<\/em><\/p>\n Reports of escalating US military presence in the Middle East are circulating widely. Citing the Wall Street Journal, Steven Nabil<\/a> (Post Impact: 17%)<\/strong> stated the Pentagon has notified a second aircraft carrier to prepare for deployment to the region upon President Trump’s orders. He analyzed that if such an order is given, it would mean that “negotiations are facing a complex path.”<\/em> Al-Khaleia Al-Tacticia<\/a> (Post Impact: 13%)<\/strong> corroborated this, reporting that the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) is on standby and speculating that a third carrier might follow, with potential positions in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.<\/p>\n Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani held a meeting with Nouri Al-Maliki, the head of the State of Law Coalition, to discuss the political situation in Iraq. According to posts from Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani<\/a>‘s official page (Post Impact: 25%)<\/strong> and the Iraqi PMO<\/a> (Post Impact: 4%)<\/strong>, the discussion covered efforts to reach a political agreement to complete constitutional requirements, including the election of a President. Nouri Al-Maliki<\/a> (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong> also issued a press statement emphasizing that stability requires “the rule of law, restricting weapons to the state, and having one army”<\/em> under the Prime Minister’s command.<\/p>\n Pages shared videos and updates on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Ahmad Al-Thawaq<\/a> (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong> reported on the launch of mass marches across the country to commemorate the occasion. Another video from the same account<\/a> (Post Impact: 26%)<\/strong> showed the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, participating in the rallies. The coverage highlights the large-scale public demonstrations taking place in Iran.<\/p>\n Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani is focusing on the electricity sector ahead of the summer season. His official page, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani<\/a> (Post Impact: 21%)<\/strong>, reported on his visit to the Ministry of Electricity, where he chaired a meeting to review preparations for providing power during the upcoming summer. The Prime Minister emphasized the priority of bill collection (jebaya) to “rationalize consumption and reduce energy waste,”<\/em> directing the ministry to prepare a study on the matter. The page Fad Daqiqa<\/a> (Post Impact: 2%)<\/strong> also noted the Prime Minister’s visit to the ministry.<\/p>\n The head of the Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS), Lieutenant General Karim Al-Tamimi, was awarded the French Legion of Honour. According to the official Iraqi CTS<\/a> page (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong>, the medal is the highest honor in the French Republic and was granted by French President Emmanuel Macron in appreciation of Al-Tamimi’s efforts in combating terrorism. The award was presented in Baghdad by the French Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces for Operations. A follow-up post from Iraqi CTS<\/a> (Post Impact: 9%)<\/strong> shared video from the ceremony.<\/p>\n News that the former Iraqi embassy building in Seoul was sold to a famous Korean singer has been shared on Facebook. Rusly Al-Maliki<\/a> (Post Impact: 14%)<\/strong> reported that Jennie, a member of the group Blackpink, purchased the luxury building for approximately $13.7 million to potentially use as headquarters for her new company. The post called on the media to investigate the matter. The story was also referenced poetically by Ali Al-Jaber<\/a> (Post Impact: 6%)<\/strong>, who wrote, “The oil wasn’t enough, we sold the embassy.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Based on an analysis of 446 Facebook posts trending on February 11, 2026, Miqrab AI identified several key narratives circulating in Iraq.
