Did the invasion of Iraq benefit Iran?

Considering that the situation for the Iranian government changed from a regime headed by Saddam Hussein that was weak and rotting from within, to being flanked on two sides by the 'Great Satan' itself -the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, I do not believe that they considered themselves to have benefited all that much from our ouster of Saddam Hussein -at least not initially.   

Fools like you have missed out on the fact that Chalabi is an Iranian spy. Someone should arrest him when he's in DC.

I disagree with Frodo's answer, but what does Chalabi have to do with the question?

The war was given to us by Iranian spies.

I'm sure Iran loves having the US Army on two sides of them.

Ummm, what are we going to with those? There aren't all that many in Afganistan anyways.

Iran has long been enemies with Saddam. Now they have a fellow sh**te controlled government there. I don't think Iran has been secretly this happy with us since the Iran-contra scandal.

It has replaced one threat to Iran with another.  Whether one is greater than the other is yet to be determined.

The new Iraqi government is very friendly to Iran. Hardly a threat.

The threats are:

1. 140,000 US troops on their border
2. Democracy, which has already started spreading in the region

It has replaced one threat to Iran with another.  Whether one is greater than the other is yet to be determined.

Threats don't sign defense pacts with you.

Two words, rocket: "Molotov-Ribbentrop"

1. They're busy getting shot at- in Iraq
2. Iran has more democracy than some of their neighbors.
