Iran could destabilize Iraq loooooong ago if she wanted to
do.
She gains nothing from doing so and most importantly, history
tells us that Iran has only been a peaceful (to
everyone) country under the rule of Ayatollah.
I'm doing my best to understand you, but here you baffle me. Iran has been peaceful to EVERYONE under the Ayatollah? Since when?

For example, if someone went around with a banner saying "Long Live Iran, Down with the Islamic Republic," how would the Iranian government respond? Peacefully? Or how would it respond to women's rights campaigners and/or those speaking up for the rights of atheists? To such people Iran appears to be very much a threat.
