This goes all of the way back to British and French redrawing of the area during and after WW-1. I predict that the entire area will devolve back into tribal areas of influence and that Iraq and Iran will effectively cease to be nation states.

Iraq probably will cease to have the borders it does today, and may change names. However, Iran is benefiting from this war. They are using their “Shia” version of Islam to justify going into Iraq to “help.” If they go in, they will NEVER go out again. A great portion of Iraq will become part of Iran - at least a “vassal” state to Iran.
