Note
Only the noun takes this -s. The plural names people, whether they are from Iraq itself or of Iraqi descent, so it covers families abroad as readily as citizens at home. Before another noun, the adjective stays unchanged: Iraqi voters and Iraqi families, never Iraqis voters. For the population as a whole, the Iraqi people serves alongside the plural noun.
