Its true. Religion is like a gang over there. Iran's boys support a "gang" in Iraq..ok a really really big gang....supported by money, power, technology and weapons. So if this "gang" comes into power in the next 1-10 years then it will have close ties to Iran. Sorry I can't go into details. Do a google on Muqtada Al Sadr or the Sadr Army. I've been there, done that and lossed two outstanding Soldiers.
