Maybe sooner than that.

"There is increasing evidence that the Iraqi police forces, now under Shi’ite control, are carrying out systematic revenge killings against Sunnis in Baghdad. The bodies now showing up at the morgue have obvious signs of handcuffing and blindfolding and evidence of being tortured before death. U.S. sources indicate that the suspicious killings have reached the rate of almost 700 per month. The police are supervised by the Shi’ite-run Ministry of Interior, which claims that the killings are being carried out by insurgents wearing stolen police uniforms. But American intelligence sources disagree, noting that many of the killers appear to be actual policemen carrying the expensive standard-issue Glock automatics and driving official Toyota Land Cruisers."

In many cases yes, they do. The Kuwaiti's, Saudi's and other Sunni gulf states supported Iraq in the war against Iran as did the US.

The Iranians have on occasion cooperated with Sunni states but mostly having to do with Isreal or the US.

Hizbollah which is based in Lebanon is a Shia Arab group which Iran supports. So the Iranians can get along with Arabs as long as they are Shia. This doesn't mean they cannot ally with Sunni Arabs but generally they don't.

The religious divide Shia-Sunni means more than the Arab-Persian divide but Persians in general are not to friendly to Arabs.
