After the 2014 agreement ended the dispute with Fincantieri, corvettes are now owned by Iraqis.
The two units in the last 26 years have been periodically under hull maintenance, so they should be in good condition, do not know the internal conditions: propulsion engines, generators, and the rest of the electrical and electronic systems, armaments.
Probably will need maintenance before returning them to operating conditions.
Who knows, along the route to reach Oum Qasr (Iraq) passes near Bandar Abbas and its naval yards, which are probably capable of restoring ships, including the Oto Melara 76/62 compact, and given the current vouchers Bilateral relations, it could be an opportunity.
Another alternative, if Iraq thinks that its navy does not need this type of naval unit, the government may decide to offer them for sale

When you have nothing, even these old ships that have never sailed, they can play their job diligently, perhaps not the original one, but with the helicopter platform and the compact 76/62, they would do great patrol activities.
However, if Iraq decides not to use it, if it does well, I imagine who might be interested.

Then they can be used as a patrol boats.

From the photos posted by an Italian newspaper, it seems that besides the hull cleaning, shortly before had painted the hull
