It's always been .iq and the three letter code is .irq, at least since 2002
anyway.

I think what it is: The new government is simply reafirming their desire for
the .iq handle since the old government no longer exists....

Hmmm. Maybe what the 'news' is really about is establishing a .iq registry
.... a distinction that the yahoos don't quite understand.

With all of the irq conflict in the last few years, it's understandable to
see why it's newsworthy.
Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)

Iraq, its domain and the 'terrorist-funding' owner
The .iq domain is currently run by an individual - a man called Saud Alani
who gives a Baghdad telephone number yet is based in George Bush's home
state of Texas. His company "the Alani corporation" is part of a group of
companies all run from the same address in Richardson, Texas, including
InfoCom and Valnet. All of these companies - and the .iq domain - have as
their technical contact and/or owner one Bayan Elashi. Unfortunately, Mr
Elashi is in federal custory in Seagoville jail, Texas, awaiting trial for
allegedly funding anti-Israeli group Hamas. If found guilty he faces a
crippling fine and most of the rest of his life in jail.
