I picked this up today at the local post-Thanksgiving flea market. Seller thought it was Israeli, confidence is high that it isn't! However, I still don't know if it is military, police or exactly who would have worn it.

Iraqi policeman in Al Qibla around 2007

 

There are several variations of this patch, including one with a green olive branches, one with "IP" in the center instead of the star and branches, ones that say "الله أكبر" between the stars on the flag which are probably pre-2008, one with an eagle in the center and an additional arch of text above, and I'm sure many more.
