This study attempts to shed light on non-traditional security issues as new challenges to national security of states. The study examined the case of food security in Iraq after the war on terrorism in 2016 as one of the most important issues threatening security situation. Despite the efforts made by international organizations in Iraq, United Nations' reports indicated that there are three million people suffering from food insecurity. The most important factors that increased food crisis, are: corruption and poor planning by successive governments, daesh's control of large territories in the west and north of Iraq, the policies of neighboring countries towards Iraq specifically Iran and Turkey by flooding the Iraqi market with food products or working to reduce the flow of rivers water to Iraq, the massive increase in population that deepened the economic crisis, corona pandemic and the decline in global oil prices and finally Russia-Ukraine war. All these factors led to an increase food prices in Iraq, which negatively affected the middle and lower classes of society.
