Well I'm a Muslim myself, It's not just in Iraq that the women wear hijabs. It's in most of the Muslim countries and the reason why is because they don't want other men looking at their women. Imagine if a woman in a full body hijab and a half naked American woman is walking down a street when a group of thugs walks up, which woman is more likely to be raped?

In Iran, it is a law that women cover themselves. Many women do not want to have to cover themselves in the way the Iranian government wants them too, however. If you do some research, you can see that this is reflected in the style in which many Iranian women dress. Many Muslims do not in fact believe that the way Iranian women dress can be considered hijab. This is not to say though that there aren't women who don't want to cover themselves.
