Iran is the defacto head of the Shi'ite movement of Islam. They are the leader of that sect of this particular religion since the Ayatolla came back to Iran during the Carter administration. They rule all Shi'ites (directly or by proxy) no matter what nationality. They did this while Saddam was in power, and he was brutal in keeping control over them when he could.

They're still trying to control Iraqi Shi'ites while we're in Iraq, but have begun to lose their degree of influence. DuH has posted recent threads regarding this which can be found in the "Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution" forum.

All that said Iran was not a threat to Iraq until we invaded Iraq and put in the shambles it is in today.
