There is a potential arab/persian split there and the iraqis are more secular so far and not ruled by ayotollahs (yet). Also unless the shiaa want a complete split with sunnis and a resumption of civil war like conditions, compromises with the maliki regime and the US are possible for folks like sistani, albeit harder to form with al sadr. I just wouldnt make the assumption that iraq is in irans hip pocket just yet. Iraqi shiaa know that their bretheren in iran are not happy with the current regime and ayo rule so shiaa rule in iran doesnt have to make the same mistakes.
