am I entitled to Iraqi citizenship

my mother's mother is Iraqi, so my mother had citizenship before she renounced it to keep her father's Kuwaiti one which she has now renounced too, but does this mean that I get Iraqi citizenship as being quarter Iraqi as my grandma on my mother's side is full Iraqi?

why wouldn't I? I'm entitled to it.
Apparently not. You need an Iraqi parent or to have been born in Iraq.

If she renounced her citizenship and was not born in Iraq, almost certainly not
