At the moment (July, 2014) Iraq cannot really be considered as a nation with alliances and enemies. Iraq was created out of the dregs of the Ottoman Empire and in the aftermath of two world wars. It has been a remarkably unsuccessful attempt to form one nation out of three inimical tribes.

To the extent that we can consider the Baghdad government to be representative of Iraq as a whole (and it is not), the Iraq's allies are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and possibly Turkey. Its adversaries are Syria and Iran.

Given that half of the territory of Iraq is occupied and nominally governed by the terrorist group "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" and by the Kurds of the north who would prefer an independent Kurdistan, it's even money as to whether Iraq will even exist by next year.

In operation desert storm the ussr and many arab countries as either direct or traditional allies of iraq?

Answer 1actively fought against the Allied coalition and helped Iraq.Answer 2I am not entirely sure what the question was, but Iraq's traditional allies, who were the USSR and other Arab States abandoned Iraq in 1991 because of its clearly belligerent action in invading Kuwait. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt were very important partners in coordinating Operation Desert Storm.Answer 1 is wrong. These nations either were neutral or fought alongside the Allied coalition.
