Assuming Iraqis cluster inbetween Assyrians and Kurds(there are no Iraqi Arab database samples) or inbetween Syrians and Kurds, which would make them cluster with Assyrians, Chechens are closer to Iraqis, and by far.

He is Armenoid. Chechens don't look that en masse.

Kurds don't cluster with Iraqi's though. They cluster with Iranians.
