Iraqi politics, as long as it doesn't interefere with his agenda. The pro-Iranian factionalism in Iraq seems to be indigenous, although Iran supports it, and based a good deal in religious rivalries rather that nationalist sentiments: Najaf vs Qom rather than Baghdad vs Tehran.

Your second paragraph seems correct to me, at least in the sense that Iran likes a weakened and friendly Iraq.
