The good news is, I suspect with more than half the population seeing that the country marched into Iraq on the basis of a lie means that aside from saber-rattling, I don't think they'll actually succeed.
The bad news? Iran is a cause for concern, as evidenced by EU reps in negotiations with Iran. Since we squandered all our cred in Iraq, not to mention way too many American and Iraqi lives, we can't do shit about Iran or North Korea.
And besides, look iat it from Iran's pov: Big country with lots of weapons invaded country next door. Big country with lots of weapons before they invaded country next door put your country on shit list with North Korea and country they just invaded.
Fuck that shit. If I were Iran, I'd be stepping up my nuclear weapons program, too, if only so I'd have a deterrent.
