which is odd, as if ISIS were to gain control of the territories of iraq, iran probably would be an option for 'who is next', and then after that most of the people on that exception list.. yet they seem to act like it would never ever happen

The Sunni Iraqis -- no. The Iraqi Shiite elements -- yes.
They are afraid that the Nuclear Agreement will free up Iranian money and trade earnings that might ,and probably will, be given to radical Shiite elements that be used to attack the Sunni (Wahhabist) followers of the extremist form of Islam that the majority practice in Saudi Arabia.
