Concerning Iran, while Britain had a sphere of influence in southeastern Iran, Britain did not govern Iran after World War I. Iran was an independent country in 1919, ruled by the Qajjar Dynasty. Midway through the 1920s, the Qajjar were overthrown by the Pahlavi Dynasty. While Reza Pahlavi (the first Pahlavi Shah) had a good relationship with Britain, it was nothing close to colonization.
Concerning Iraq, Britain made Iraq into a mandate in 1919 and gave it "independence" in 1930. Independence is in quotes since the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq was heavily beholden to British interests and British troops remained in the country. The reason that the British took control of Iraq was because of its petroleum fields. The British needed the petroleum for all of their military technologies.
