Technically, Iraq is in Asia, so Iraqis would be considered Asian. However, the term "Asian" in most Anglophone countries is used to refer to people from East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, etc.), so Iraqis would be considered Middle Eastern, not Asian, since Iraq is in the Middle East, not East Asia.
Is the Middle East part of Asia?
The Middle East is a subregion of Asia. I assume by Asian you mean East Asia. India is not a part of the Middle East or East Asia. It's in its own subregion: South Asia. It can be also referred to as the Indian subcontinent but can be offensive to Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, and Bhutanese people because you would be using the name of a country (India) to refer to a region that is more than just India. For this reason you should use the term South Asia instead of Indian Subcontinent.

Why do you refer to the lands around the southeastern and eastern shore of the mediterranean sea as the middle east or the near east?
According to an article in Foreign Affairs (Davison, 1960) the term Middle East was popularized by an American naval officer named Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1902, but it might have been used by the British during their years of colonialism in the region. China and Japan for example were considered to be the Far East so the region between the Far East and The West then became the Near East or the Middle East. Although at times in history the Near East denoted the Balkans, it now generally means the Middle East plus Turkey and Iran. The terms Middle East and Near East are eurocentric because they describe a region in relation to Europe or The West. Despite this, the term is now accepted and even people in the Middle East call it that (Al-Sharq Al-Awasat means Middle East in Arabic). The issue of why the Middle East is called the Middle East is an interesting example how simple geographic names are emeshed in geopolitics and can shift in meaning over time.For a more detailed history read: Roderic H. Davison, "Where is the Middle East?" Foreign Affairs, Vol. 38, p. 665 -675. July 1960
