Summary
Communications and Media Commission (CMC)
government telecom regulatory iraq
IQ-CCLTD is operated by the Communications and Media Commission (CMC), Iraq's independent government agency for media and communications regulation.
What it's used for
- The address space carries the CMC's own network infrastructure, as indicated by netnames
IQ-IRAQINCMC-20050615andCMC_Networkregistered to the Commission. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained government network rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- All three announced prefixes are registered to the Communications and Media Commission (CMC), matching the AS holder exactly.
- The CMC was established in 2004 as a financially and administratively independent government agency to monitor media and communications in Iraq.
- The inventory consists of three contiguous /24 and /23 blocks within 194.117.56.0/22, forming a compact internal estate with no IPv6 presence.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
