This story needs more attention. And this is one of the rare (even unique?) times the brashness of Trump is preferred to the status quo support of Iran by Obama. Obama was very careful to not upset Iran. Trump doesn't care if he upsets Iran. Obama was keen on stability in the middle east which necessarily included not upsetting Iran while turmoil reigned in Iraq and while appeasing Saudi Arabia.
More then likely the leadership and revolutionary guard will hit that "That's enough button". They'll roll in with guns and clubs and arrest the leaders and hang a few and the whole thing will peter out.
