What you will see
Nasiriyah is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:20:45 local time, the Moon hides 58.1% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:06:46 and ends at 14:29:53, 2 h 23 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 68° above the horizon, towards the south-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Nasiriyah.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,168 km south-west of Nasiriyah.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is King Abdullah City, about 1,190 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 02 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
