In April 2004 the new flag was proposed but no action was taken for changing the flag. Later on, on 28th June 2004 a ceremony was held, when the new interim government of Iraq was made and new flag of Iraq was introduced. That flag was also made on the same pattern of 1991 flag. But it was wider, and the stars and writing on the flag was more loosely spread on the flag across the width of the flag.
