If this further splits an already pathetic military and Shitte militia look for Iran to grab oil producing areas in the south and leave the rest to IS.

I suspect Iran might grab the whole thing. After all, it would guarantee the safety of those oil-producing areas that were just handed over to China without even a careless thought.

Iran would also want to protect areas with a Shiite majority.

Part II, Iran-Iraq War, 1980-1988, except this time the Christians get exterminated.

Our withdrawal leads to Iran seizing the areas it lost hundreds of thousands trying to seize in the 1980s Iran-Iraq war - and looks like a heroic stabilizing force compared to the horrors of ISIS.
