Here's why:
* Official Language: The official language of Iraq is Arabic.
* Ethnic Groups: The majority of Iraq's population is Arab. While there are some Kurdish and Turkmen communities, Farsi speakers are a very small minority.
* Geographical Proximity: While Iraq shares a border with Iran (where Farsi is the official language), the languages spoken in the border regions of Iraq are predominantly Arabic and Kurdish.
While some individuals in Iraq may know some Farsi due to historical connections or family ties, it's not a widely spoken language in the country.
