The new Ministers will oversee oil, water, housing, higher education, and transportation. Another appointee, for trade, was denied by the 328-seat parliament.
An earlier attempt to reshuffle the cabinet in June, after the departures of six Ministers, was rejected by the Iraqi federal court.
Monday’s approvals follow a weeks-long delay in confirming the new officials.
The democratically-elected Iraqi government has been working to operate independent of U.S. support for years since the overthrow and execution of former dictator Saddam Hussein.
