The topic acquires its importance from a search in the strategies of the frivolous state and its characteristics with the ability to influence the regional, and what it revealed is a turning point in how to adapt from the variables and employ them to their advantage and try to prove their existence.

Iraq and its national security system suffer from two forms of challenges that hinder its progress and require a lot of effort and work to ensure that they are avoided; visible strategic challenges, whose implications and effects can be sought directly in kind, and invisible strategic challenges. These challenges pose a major dilemma for the stable governments. how then to the Iraqi state, with its current and foreseeable circumstances. to face it, especially as the security system that was built according to the immediate requirements in the absence of a comprehensive strategic vision, is now suffering from a large sagging at the level of preparation, leadership and lack of armament.
