For anti-radar, anti-ship and TV guided missiles Su-30 doesn't need targeting pod. But for LGBs Su-30 need it, but Russians don't produce them yet. That is why Su-24M is more suitable for Iraq, because it doesn't need targeting pod as it have similar complex build inside the plane.

Interesting is, that those Sukhoi fighter, that Iraq got today are retired planes and that they will be used by ex-iraqi pilots, who fly in them in Saddam Hussein times, so they could be even replaced Su-24 or maybe retired Su-17M4 taken from reserve stocks. It will be interesting to see, which planes landed in Iraq.
Иракский представитель добавил, что самолеты будут приняты на вооружение в ближайшие дни, а управлять ими будут знакомые с такой техникой бывшие пилоты иракской армии.
Премьер Ирака ранее заявил, что его страна закупила несколько бывших в употреблении истребителей компании «Сухой». Директор Центра анализа мировой торговли оружием Игорь Коротченко предположил, что Ирак закупил шесть российских самолетов Су-30К, которые находились на ремонте в Белоруссии.

Excellent development, thanks Iraqidabab! 
Where are the Su-25s from, Russia or Belarus? What is the AF chief saying in the interview?

From Russia.
He says: The SU 25 will enter service in like 3 days. Russian experts will stay as well to help with the SU 25's, Iraqi pilots which flew SU 25's during the former regime will fly those.

I love how Russia offers planes with no pre-conditions, while the U.S. attempts to arm twist U.S./Saudi puppet Ayad Allawi in to power to weaken Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Russia in the Middle East...

Su-24 could fly by themselves to Iraq over Caspian sea and Iran, so no need to carry them by An-124. I only wander, where they landed.

Target ISIS: First batch of Russian Su-24 jets arrives in Iraq
The first ten Russian Sukhoi (Su-24) fighter jets arrived in Iraq on Saturday, the country’s Defense Ministry said. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is hoping the jets will make a key difference in the fight against ISIS.
“The fighter jets landed today in the morning on different military airfields,” MP Abbas al-Bayati told Iraqi media.
The official spokesperson for the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, Mohammed al-Askari, also confirmed the information, Al Iraqiya TV channel reported.
The fighter jets will be stationed at an airbase located in the southern part of the country, PressTV reported, citing military sources.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Maliki revealed that Iraq purchased jets from Russia and Belarus in order to help its fight against Sunni militants from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS/ISIL).
At the same time, Maliki criticized the US for taking too long to deliver on its own contract after Iraq purchased F-16 jets from America.
On Friday, Iraqi Air Force Commander Hameed al-Maliki confirmed the shipment of MI-35 and MI-28 Russian helicopter fighters to "keep the momentum" in the attacks against ISIS, Ruptly reported.
The commander said that he signed three contracts with the Russians and stressed the importance of the choppers as "excellent anti-terrorism weapons."
The radical Sunni Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL) has taken large parts of the country's north from the Shia government.
Hundreds of Iraqi soldiers have been killed by insurgents since the Sunni militants began their offensive on June 9, according to Iraqi forces.
The United Nations says more than 1,000 people – mainly civilians – have been killed during the surge thus far.

The article clearly states that "The fighter jets landed today in the morning on different military airfields", doesn't say anything about being transported by An-124s.

Is IRAQ going to send it's Air Force pilots to Russia to get trained on using the Su 24 or does the skill set already exists in Iraq ?

Not enough time. 99% they will be Iranians who already have the necessary skills and can be passed as Iraqi's anyway.
