If it's her first time of coming to the UK. Her visitors visa would most likely get rejected. Who visits for 3 months?
Just being able to pay for someone's trip doesn't guarantee visa issuance based on probabilities.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

Think of this application as an Entry Clearance Officer would.

What are the chances that your mother will leave the UK at the end of her visit vs simply deciding to stay with her son in the UK, after arriving in the UK? What does she have in Iraq that she can't afford to lose?

Keep in mind that having a British citizen child is a disincentive/counts against her getting a visa, as she has something to hang on to in the UK.

Not only stating this but also backed with documents. Furthermore, evidence of economic/financial ties to home country will be helpful.
