There are many reasons for that decision taken by the traders. 1. In general transporting will be cheap if you take the route via sea than the land. (Ref: An inquiry into the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith) 2. before European traders discovered the sea route to Asia, they use to take the land route, which passes via the middle east.

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.
