I have a soft spot for gunboats. Perhaps it's because Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite President.

Iraqi Navy Boat (P-6 or OSA-II ?)

Neither P-6 nor OSA-II I would say. The P-6 was a torpedo boat while the OSA-II was a rocket missile one as memory serves. Both were larger naval vessels.
IMHO that's a Sawari class patrol boat built in Basra and also re-fitted into a minelayer. I would say Sawari 6 or 7 type.
