It would take Iran potentially causing a serious threat to the region before anyone would be willing to step in, and then it would most likely be a more localized response rather than any western nations. At best I see the UN sending them some more toilet paper in the form of UN resolutions.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the western world were secretly hoping for some kind of upheaval to oust the current crazy people in power. I'm sure a domino effect was at least considered when the US was making plans to deal with Iraq.
