Iran is trying to take over Iraq and in turn Saudi Arabia. They see the politically divisive impeachment of Trump as a sign of weakness in America and are trying to capitalize on it. Trump simply reiterated that the US is not weak and will not allow Iran to destabilize the region.
When George W Bush decided to take down Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party of Sunnis, by default U.S. gave Iraq to Iran. Iran hasn't needed to try to take over Iraq. U.S. gave Iraq to Iran.
