Why were there never any Iraqies on Star Trek?

Thought Klingons are similar with Japanese because they're so obessive with honor. Iraqi don't.

In the original series, the Klingons were Soviet analogs, whereas the Romulans were Chinese stand-ins. The Ks were overtly imperialistic, and the Rs were secretive, but always a potential threat. Ah, the good old days of Cold War politics.
The "Klingon Honor" never entered the picture until TNG.
