And it is not always about state governments. Religion and ethnicity was the key. Always has been in the middle east. The Shiites already had the south and more then half of Baghdad. Whether it would have been a proxy for Iran or a province of Iran or a completely independent state next to Iran is immaterial. The people themselves would have decided.
