I am not aware of any.
The history of the area is of key importance to the question in the OP. Iran will only help Iraq if there is a strategic power advantage. Iraqi leaders need help and will accept it from Iran to solidify their power base within their own boarders and try to prevent neighboring countries (ironically including Iran.) from taking advantage of their "civil war". The fight for power in the area will be a reality with or without US involvment, not unless the folks involved are willing to forgive and forget. We know that ain't happening.
Sorry for taking another swing. You don't have to tell me I missed. One day I will accept the fact that all the problems in the world are our fault.
