As long as there is no phone/device in that network outside Iraq that will not work for Internet. If there is, the ISP/Government can fingerprint the traffic and block the IP of any device outside Iraq. Just like how China FW block VPN traffic.

edit: Adding China FW

Well, you don't send it in.. you just bring it in? Like something smuggled physically? Its slow, admitted, but better having that data come in on some truck driver-smuggled-ssd and reach you by hopping from phone to phone, then not at all.
