The USA and other powers - including Russia which is already Iran's ally - wading in.
A lot of this, though not all, can be laid at America having deliberately wrecked the multinational nuclear-power treaty with Iran, for no clear purpose.
If the UK and other European nations stay out of it they may regain some respect from the Tehran government, nasty though that government is even to Iranians, with some prospect of resurrecting the treaty.
I don't know if President Trump imagines that bombing the country will lead into becoming a peaceful, friendly democracy; but if so he will fail. Only the Iranians themselves can do that, by their own efforts.
