Iraq was a Class-A Mandate under British Occupation. In 1923, it was given de jure independence as the Kingdom of Iraq, but was under British control until 1958 when General Qasim launched a coup d'etat.
Israel, Jordan, and Iraq were part of the British mandate.
The British ruled the regions would become Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine as Mandates. From 1919-1921 the only two British Mandates in the Middle East were those of Iraq and Palestine. In 1922, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into the Mandate of Palestine and the Mandate of Transjordan.
According to the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the Ottoman Empire ceded Iraq to the League of Nations, which authorized Britain to maintain a mandate there.
Officially, No, but many consider it to be because the power that the British exercised over Iraq during its mandate-period resembles colonization. Iraq was part of the Mandate System and as such, the British expended a great deal of manpower to "modernize" and "control" the country. Officially, however, mandates were not colonies in that a mandate has the future purpose of becoming a realized independent state. A colony does not have such a purpose. The Mandate of Iraq was maintained from 1919 until 1921 when the British transferred authority to King Faisal I. However, the British interfered often with Iraqi policy and maintained boots on the ground until 1954.
