Abdul Ilah

Abdul Ilah, the regent of Iraq from 1953 until the 1958 revolution, played a significant role in the political landscape of Iraq during the monarchy. Known for his close ties to Britain and the controversial policies implemented under his regency, he was a key figure during a tumultuous period marked by political repression and uprisings against the ruling elite. His rule ended tragically when he was executed following the coup that overthrew the monarchy.
