Wow, I cannot believe someone is asking such a question.
There is an insurgency in Iraq and full-blown civil war in Syria. The insurgency in Iraq is led by a group of Sunni extremists who are called ISIL, ISIS, IS, Da'esh etc.
The province which borders Jordan (entirely) is called Anbar Province. The capital is Ar-Ramadi. Anbar is the heartland of the extremist group I mention above.
Even if you were willing to face what I would say is 75% chance of death, luckily for you the Iraqi Government will not issue you a visa, and I am pretty sure the Jordanians would not be very keen on letting you in.
If you are in Turkey, you can get into Iraq from there, but only into Kurdish-administered regions.
I drove across northern Iraq late last year, getting fairly close to ISIS lines. To go beyond is really not a good idea.
