I bought a Apple Gift Card which is usable in US and i am in IRAQ, How to fix this issue ?

When i try to redeem my APPLE GIFT CARD , it says the code must be redeemed in USA, another storefront, the card that i bought in IRAQ is brought from or purchased in USA.

I was about to buy 10 cards from iCenter but it was good that i bought only 2 ( 100$ ) for test.

So, can anyone kindly help me how to fix this issue ?

Sorry, but Apple can't help you in this case. You should try to get a refund from the shop, where you bought the iTunes gift cards.

...

If you see a message that says the code must be redeemed in another storefront, the card was probably purchased in another country or region. You can't redeem Apple Gift Cards or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards outside of the country or region of purchase. For example, if you bought an App Store & iTunes Gift Card in France, you can't redeem it in the App Store in the United States.
