Iraq Then and Now

Iraqs King in 1953 expecting his country to be beautiful one day... The country today 🇮🇶😍:

A black-and-white archival clip shows Iraq’s king at an official ceremony in 1953, followed by several stylish, heavily bearded Iraqi men posing and walking in modern settings. The joke contrasts the king’s hopeful vision of a beautiful future Iraq with an exaggerated modern image of fashionable, confident men. The clip is set to the song “خالي” by حسن الهايل, whose upbeat Arabic music adds a celebratory, humorous feel and makes the transition feel like a triumphant reveal.
