The short answer is Yes.

The dominant languages in Iraq today are Arabic and Kurdish. The dominant languages in Iran are Farsi (Persian), Azeri, Kurdish, Arabic, and Balochi.

The language of the Ancient Assyrians was Akkadian with a minority of elite also being fluent in Sumerian. Both are dead languages today. Modern Assyrians, a Christian minority in northern Iraq, speak Arabic in their day-to-day lives, but use Syriac, an nearly-dead language in liturgy.

In either case, the unique languages of the Assyrians are different than the dominant languages of Iraq and Iran.

Is Persian different from Arabic?

Ofcourse it is ! Persian ( known as Farsi ) is used mainly in Iran, while Arabic is used throughout the Gulf. The script is the same, but the language it not. The two languages are as different as french and German. Farsi is gentle and poetic, without much of an accent but Arabic is very bold and strong with an explicit accent. Eventhough the scripts are the same, you can tell most easily the difference between an Arabic and an Iranian paragraph with the first glance.

Are Arabic and Farsi related?

No. Farsi is the Arabic and Persian word for Persian. Arabic & Persian are not the same language, in fact, Persian is grammatically much closer to English than it is to Arabic. The confusion stems from the fact that Farsi is written in Arabic letters, but similarly Polish and Tagalog are written in Roman Letters (like English), but that says nothing as to the linguistic similarity of those languages.

Is there an Iranian-Iraqi group of languages?

No, there is not. Iraqi Arabic is a dialect of Arabic similar to Saudi Arabic, while the language spoken in Iran is called either Farsi or Persian. Arabic is part of the Semitic language family, Persian is part of the Indo-European language family--so the two are actually not related at all. Iran uses the Arabic script for religious reasons.
