Hello!

I'd suggest to add the following lines to the event #2074001 right after the line where 'political_left' is set. After looking a bit up Rashid al-Gailani must become HoS, HoG and foreign minister because of the coup. For the other ministers I chose a few from the ministers_irq.csv from the section 'FA' and/or '1941', because I have no details about the other ministerial posts.

Code:
        command = { type = headofstate which = 365143 }
        command = { type = headofgovernment which = 365030 }
        command = { type = foreignminister which = 365052 }
        command = { type = armamentminister which = 365075 }
        command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 365090 }
        command = { type = ministerofintelligence which = 365103 }
        command = { type = chiefofstaff which = 365136 }
        command = { type = chiefofarmy which = 365122 }
        command = { type = chiefofnavy which = 365137 }
        command = { type = chiefofair which = 365134 }

ID 365136 is Gaylani as HoS, not CoS?

Thanks, I'll correct that.
Feel free to offer suggestions about the other positions, bestmajor, this is surely your field of expertise. :)
 
I'm not good with those states,

but I'll try to help:


We are searching for the "Golden Square" the four colonels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Square_(Iraq)
And i think i found them (? i do not speak arabic, so every help is welcome: http://algardenia.com/terathwatareck/13118-1941.html
http://algardenia.com/images/almalak/Four.Aqidd.4.JPG if you look at the URL, there is written "four" so i do think those are the four colonels

Salah al Din al Sabbagh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salah_al-Din_al-Sabbagh is kind of the leader, i thin he is the one with the tropical helmet, but would need confirmation.

Mahmud Salman could be the one with the air force insignia (marked):


as for the other ministries, there is always a gap in April 1941, when the coup started, at least for the foreign minister:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_(Iraq)


so to sum things up, nobody knows :D.
EXCEPT this air force, guy, that would be cool to know, i'll do some more research and let you know if i find something.

I asked an Iranian coworker for help and she sent me the same pic a few hours ago. :D
So you are correct, that's the pic of the four "generals" and to be more precise:
Right Top: Kamil Shabib
Left Top: Fahmi Said
Right bottom: Salah al-Din al-Sabbagh
Left bottom: Mahmud Salman

I suppose I'll give Air Force to Salman, probably Army or Staff to al-Sabbagh and then there's also this guy who fought in the war and is already in the minister files:
Fawsi al Kaukji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawzi_al-Qawuqji#Interwar_period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Iraqi_War#Rutbah

As always, thanks for your suggestions, they're always welcome! :)
