Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1930

The Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1930 was a treaty of alliance between the United Kingdom and the British-Mandate-controlled administration of the HashemiteKingdom of Iraq. The treaty was between Kings George V of the United Kingdom and Faisal I of Iraq. High Commissioner Francis Humphrys signed for the United Kingdom and Prime MinisterNuri as-Said signed for Iraq. The 1930 treaty was based upon the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1922 but took into account Iraq's increased importance to British interests after oil was found in 1927.
