If that nuclear ability was taken away, I don't think you'd find a more agressive Iran, I think you'd find a meeker one. Once the West isn't fearful of Iran using a nuclear option they could probably push them around a lot easier. I think the US wouldn't mind Iran attacking Iraq, it would probably give them a great excuse to either A) fight Iranians or B) withdraw from Iraq and blame it on Iran.

That said, I don't see Iran invading Iraq, with or without nuclear weapons.
Iran's motivation is to prepare the way for the twelvth Imam who
will conquor the world for Islam. Their president doesn't give a speech
in Iran without mentioning this goal.
