Iraq is not a very mountainous region, and given that it's the oldest inhabited country in the world (Babylon and Sumeria) it's possible that most of the easily obtained natural resources have been used by the centuries of civilizations.
That was my opinion, now for the facts from the CIA World Factbook:
Iraq, Natural resources: petroleum, natural gas, phosphates, sulfur
Although the CIA are scumsucking bastards, the World Factbook is a good resource published annually and can be downloaded for free from their website.

I don't know. I only know that in the country India there is more minerals and pleasure. here I can only tell about India. and here it is:
1. India has different types of land surfaces. Some of it's parts have mountains while others are plains. Some of it's parts have rocky land and some has sandy land. In the north lies the ''Great Himalayan Region''. To it's south is the ''Great Indian Plain'' where the Satluj and the Ganga rivers flow. It is also know as ''Gangetic Plain''. To the south of ''Gangetic Plain'' is the ''Plateu Of Peninsular India. It is also called eccan Plateu. It looks like a cone in shape.
2. The western coastal plains touch the Arabian Sea and the eastern coastal plains touch the Bay of Bengal.
