Iraq has been ruled by people from what is now Iran including non-Indo-European Kasistes, Gutians and Lullubi and Indo-European Medes, Achaemenid Persians, Scythian Parthians and Sassanid Persians.
Iranian loan words and speech are everywhere in Iraq, including the capital Baghdad which comes from Avestan "Baga Dad" or "gift from God."
