Iraqis are made up of several different ethnic groups, with the overwhelming majority being Arabized Mesopotamians. They are genetically distinct from the Arabian Arabs of the Arabian peninsula and maintain consanguinity with the inhabitants of Babylon and Assyria. The only reason they're labeled Arabs is because they speak the Arabic language which was introduced to Mesopotamia during the Islamic conquest in the 7th century.
Minorities of Iraqis are from other ethnic groups, such as Kurds, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Alevis, Turcoman (also spelled Turkmen), Azeris, Yazidis, Shabakis, Mandeans, and Persians, and there used to be an Iraqi Jewish population before the 1970s.

How does Pan-Arabism contribute to the conflict between Arabs and Kurds?
Pan-Arabism did not do much in changing Arab-Kurdish perceptions. Before the Pan-Arabist period (the 1950s and earlier) the Kurds had already attempted to secure an independent state and gained the ire of the Nationalist Iraqis. The Kurds were stuck between the two sides of a doublethink ideology. The contradiction was this: Iraq should be all territories within the former British Mandate of Iraq, but the only Iraqis are those of an Arab racial character. Since the Kurds were not Arabs, they were not considered "real Iraqis", but were forced to be a part of the Arab State. Much of the conflict was between Kurds trying to secede and Iraqis forcing them to stay in a union where they were second-class. Pan-Arabism only served to cement this pre-existing and pervasive Arab Nationalist ideology as concerns the Kurds.
