Coconut Palms (Cocos nucifera) usually require a fairly humid environment and very little winter cold (it can only take temperatures as low as 30F/-1C for very short periods of time). Because the vast majority of Iraq is desert, the Coconut Palm is not adaptable there. In extreme southeastern Iraq, assuming the winter doesn't get as cold as the interior of the country, it is perhaps possible a Coconut could be cultivated in the short term if given ample water. The most common palm in Iraq is the Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and can withstand the cold sub-freezing temperatures and dry conditions common to the Iraqi desert. Another hardy, drought tolerant palm common in Iraq and other arid regions of the Middle East is the Mazari Palm (Nannorrhops ritchiana).
