Iraq Republic Day

Iraq Republic Day is observed annually on 14 July.

The observance commemorates the 14 July Revolution of 1958, which overthrew the Hashemite monarchy and established the Republic of Iraq.

The revolution was led by Brigadier Abd al-Karim Qasim and Colonel Abdul Salam Arif, marking the end of the Kingdom of Iraq.

The day celebrates Iraq's republican system, sovereignty, and modern national history.

It is marked through official ceremonies, cultural programmes, historical commemorations, and patriotic events across the country.
