Iraq as an independent nation (since 1923) has never successfully taken over Iran. Iraq's incursions into Iranian territory during the first part of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1982) occupied less than 5% of Iranian territory. However, there have been empires based in Iraq that have conquered Iran such as the Abbassid Caliphate and Ilkhanate in the 800s-1300s.
