Answer 2

they are two different countries

There are several notable differences:

Iraq is a parliamentary democracy where the Ayatollahs and Sunni Imams typically stay out of direct politics (in much the same way that American Priests and Pastors stay out of direct politics). Iran is an Islamic Republic (a theocracy) where the religious Ayatollahs have an actual say and leadership role in the government.

Iraq is primarily Arab with some minorities like Kurds and Yazidi in the north. Iran is a multi-ethnic country made up primarily of Persians, but also Dari, Pashto, and Balochs in the East and Kurds, Azeri, Circassians, and Arabs in the West. Persians consider themselves to be Caucasians, not Arabs.

Iraq has, for much of its history, been part of the tacit Sunni Alliance in the Middle East made by itself, the Gulf Countries (Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Oman, and Yemen), Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Iran prior to 1979 was an ally of Israel and post-1979 has been part of the tacit Shi'a Alliance in the Middle East made by itself Syria, Lebanon, and Palestinian Militants.

Iraq is for the most part desert and flat country. There are two large rivers that flow through the country, but aside from them, water is scarce. Iran is a mountainous and hilly country with large plains and sporadic forests.

Iraq has a smaller population and a much smaller area than Iran. They speak Arabic in Iraq and Persian in Iran. Iraq has a slightly higher life expectancy than Iran (66 years old compared to 63 years old).
