Actually, it's not an empty threat.
They would not invade Iraq because they care about Iraq. They would invade Iraq because it would force our troops to stop worrying about insurgents and rebuilding and security and stability in Iraq. It would be solely to create chaos. And it likely would. Iraq would become a complete mess. We'd be fighting terrorists, insurgents and Iranians. All with troop numbers barely able to handle their current job. Sure, they may do nothing, but if I were them that's what I'd do.
But like I said, they are supposedly way off from having a bomb, so at this point it does not matter.
