If ballistic missiles are to be launched from Iraq, that could suggest the use of missiles with Electro-Optical seekers, that will be able to provide more accuracy in a GPS denied environment than the missiles used in Operation True Promise II which only had GPS and inertial guidance. These missiles have a shorter range though, so Iraq could be used as a launching point. This is all hearsay though.

Rumour doesn't seem to be ballistic missiles from iraq, just drones. Ballistic missile movement is apparently within Iran itself, so probably transportation to launch sites.

Could be interesting if they do move some to Iraq though.

The source that seems to have spawned all these rumours suggests ballistic missiles being launched from Iraq though

Axios, 31st October 2024 - Iran preparing major retaliatory strike from Iraq within days, Israeli intel suggests

The sources said Israeli intelligence suggests the attack is expected to be carried out from Iraq using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles.

Unreliable source of course, but that's the rumour.
