Iraq: Ancient Civilization and Oil-rich Land in the Two River Basin of West Asia

Located in West Asia, Iraq is situated in the "Two Rivers Basin" of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, and is one of the birthplaces of human civilization, where the ancient Babylonian Kingdom was born, leaving behind cultural heritage such as the Code of Hammurabi. Islam is the main religion in the country, and both Shia and Sunni sects coexist. The country is rich in oil resources, with reserves among the largest in the world, and its economy has long depended on energy exports. The country has experienced many wars and regime changes in its history, and has been committed to post-war reconstruction and development in recent years. The capital, Baghdad, is an important center of Arab culture, blending tradition and modernity, while facing the challenges of security and economic transformation.
