Big increase in terrorism likely. Almost certainly we will try to legitimize a totally corrupt regime that agrees to brutally suppress terrorism/anyone who challenges them.
its bad bad bad. It's so bad I don't think were actually going to do it. But I've been wrong about Trump before.

No way- a unified, successful, democratic Iran would be even more anti-Saudi than the current nation. The playbook for Iran would be to carve it up into smaller ethnic states to weaken any potential resistance to Israel and Saudi Arabia
I don't think an invasion or "regime change" happens though. We have generals and intelligence analysts who know Iran can mobilize literally millions of Shia devotees who will happily die for the state. In addition, some of the protesters are calling for a parliamentary democracy, some are calling for the last descendant of the Shah to be restored as monarch, but most are calling for cheaper eggs
The point is, Persians arent brain dead Arabs who say "Allahu Akbar" whilst taking up AKs to shoot up streets in a murderous orgy to topple the regime. These are protests representing discontent, not an organized revolution. The sad truth is the Iranian regime has staying power. Oh, and the second a Saudi jet flies over Iran, all of those protestors will be falling in line behind the regime, just like during the Iran-Iraq war, to defend the homeland
For my part, I'll be taking a huge dump on the entrance to a local Sunni mosque after eating nothing but pork for a week
