Who is Iraq with?
At the moment (July, 2014) Iraq cannot really be considered as a nation with alliances and enemies. Iraq was created out of the dregs of the Ottoman Empire and in the aftermath of two world wars. It has been a remarkably unsuccessful attempt to form one nation out of three inimical tribes. To the extent that we can consider the Baghdad government to be representative of Iraq as a whole (and it is not), the Iraq's allies are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and possibly Turkey. Its adversaries are Syria and Iran. Given that half of the territory of Iraq is occupied and nominally governed by the terrorist group "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" and by the Kurds of the north who would prefer an independent Kurdistan, it's even money as to whether Iraq will even exist by next year.

Were Iraqis originally Persian before the Arab invasion?
In short, the answer is partially yes. Part of Iraq was inhabited by the ethnic tribes that are known today as Persians by the Western world and Parsi in the Iranian language. The other portion of Iraq was occupied by the Sumerians/Babylonians, which was ruled by a tyrant, known as Nebakanezer. Once Cyrus the great unified the nomadic tribes that inhabited modern day Iran, parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iraq, under the Persian banner, he then entered into Babylon (Iraq) with no resistance, freeing the Sumerian and the Jewish people. The Persian/Parsi is a culmination of the following ethnic groups: Lurs, Elamites, Medes/Kurds, and allegedly Armenians, according to Greek text.
When did Iraq become an independent kingdom?
This question is difficult to answer because the term "separate country" is nebulous. If the question is asking when was the first time that somebody picked up a map and drew the outline of Iraq on it and said, "I will name this territory Iraq", then the answer would be 1918 when the British and French were dividing up former Ottoman territories and Iraq was an oil-rich territory that the British wanted. If your question is about when Iraq declared independence as sovereign nation, then the answer would be 1923 because that is when Iraq was given independence from the United Kingdom. If your question is about when Iraq was finally out of the United Kingdom's sphere of influence and proceeded to make its own policies, the answer is 1954 when King Faisal II was assassinated in a car-bombing and the Ba'ath Party took control of Iraq.
