In short, the answer is partially yes. Part of Iraq was inhabited by the ethnic tribes that are known today as Persians by the Western world and Parsi in the Iranian language. The other portion of Iraq was occupied by the Sumerians/Babylonians, which was ruled by a tyrant, known as Nebakanezer. Once Cyrus the great unified the nomadic tribes that inhabited modern day Iran, parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iraq, under the Persian banner, he then entered into Babylon (Iraq) with no resistance, freeing the Sumerian and the Jewish people. The Persian/Parsi is a culmination of the following ethnic groups: Lurs, Elamites, Medes/Kurds, and allegedly Armenians, according to Greek text.

Which two city-states demonstrated military interdependence during the Persian Wars?
The city-states of Athens and Sparta joined forces along with the other southern Greek city-states to defeat the Persian invasion in 480-479 BCE, however they were not enemies - they were allies before and after the Persian invasion. Sparta had offered support to Athens against the Persian attack on Athens a decade before that, and Athens supported the Spartans when Messenia revolted against Spartan rule twenty years after the Persian invasion. Not exactly enemies. They became enemies when Athens set out to dominate the Greek world, resulting in the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League and Athens and its new empire clashed in a destructive Peloponnesian War 431-404 BCE. Athens lost, was stripped of its empire and became a second rate power.

Are Arabs and Iraqis the same?
Iraqis are made up of several different ethnic groups, with the overwhelming majority being Arabized Mesopotamians. They are genetically distinct from the Arabian Arabs of the Arabian peninsula and maintain consanguinity with the inhabitants of Babylon and Assyria. The only reason they're labeled Arabs is because they speak the Arabic language which was introduced to Mesopotamia during the Islamic conquest in the 7th century. Minorities of Iraqis are from other ethnic groups, such as Kurds, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Alevis, Turcoman (also spelled Turkmen), Azeris, Yazidis, Shabakis, Mandeans, and Persians, and there used to be an Iraqi Jewish population before the 1970s.
