ISIS is fanatically anti-Shi’a - they regard Shi’a Muslims as takfir.
I imagine that Iran is currently calculating what it can do in regard to an ISIS takeover. If, God forbid, ISIS actually takes Baghdad and precipitates the collapse of the central Iraqi government and begins massacring Iraqi Shi’ites, I can’t imagine Iran is going to stand by and do nothing.
My guess is Iran would be mostly involved from the Syrian side of the border but on the bright side; Iran and Iraq are getting along fairly well these days.
