I am also playing from Erbil, Iraq, and I can confirm that I am experiencing the same issue.
In my case, the connection often appears to be routed toward European servers, and I regularly get matched with players from countries such as England, France, and Germany. There is a noticeable difference in response time and gameplay responsiveness compared with what I would expect from a closer regional route.
I believe it would be worth investigating whether Iraqi players could be routed through Turkey or another geographically closer regional network path, if technically possible. Turkey appears to be a much more suitable routing point for players in northern Iraq, and a more direct route could potentially reduce latency, instability, and packet loss.
I am happy to provide my ISP information, ping results, traceroutes, packet-loss tests, and any other network diagnostics that could help your technical team investigate the routing from Erbil, Iraq to EA's servers.
I hope EA can look into the routing specifically for Iraqi players rather than treating each case as an individual ISP issue.
