The flag has the same background basalt black color as flag of the 
Government, and it is clearly visible on these photos that this color is 
different than the black stripe of national flag.

After adoption of new national symbols on 13 March 2025, the governmental 
bodies, especially ministries started to create new emblems and flags. These 
emblems were white disc charged with new state emblem (coat of arms), and their 
English and Arabic names placed around it as a legend.
The new flag of 
Ministry of Defense (وزارة الدفاع - Wizarat al-Difae) became white with the new 
coat of arms placed on a white disc and its English and Arabic names were 
written above and under it.
