The thing is that a lot of Iranians are actually very normal/westernized if you can call it that, they predominately live in the cities. The nut jobs are in the rural parts of the country. The rural vote is the main driving factor with their president getting re-elected, and the outrage caused by that was seen exclusively in the cities as they want to be more like the rest of the western world (not religious zealots).
Unfortunately these people have no power and the zealots do.
I hope that these countries do not go to war as it will be a shame to see good people die on both sides needlessly.
