Jordan's Ministry of Interior says ordinary-passport holders resident in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, GCC states, South Korea, EU states, the Nordic countries or the UK can get a visa on arrival without prior approval if their residence is valid for at least six months, and that air arrivals must hold a return ticket; the same applies to holders of a Schengen or US visa valid for at least six months. It says ordinary-passport holders of Nigeria, Iran and Bangladesh, and holders of Arab and foreign travel documents (except those issued by the Vatican), need prior approval.

Driving on a Iraq license
Iraq is party to the 1968 Vienna Convention and Jordan to the 1949 Geneva Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Jordan to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Iraq.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
