They may not take direct military action, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Russia will put up a huge stink about is, and possibly counteract with proxy retaliation, be it militaristic or economic. Pro-Western Caucasus states would likely suffer the brunt of this due to already sour American / Russian relations taking a further nosedive.
American action in Iran would have so many retaliatory measures against the West it, it would be a grave situation for the world. Very grave.

The American's wouldn't attact Iran without nato approval and the Russian's could do very little about it. Do you honestly think Russia would want a war with nato? they would be flattened in days.
