right now, Iran is in a bit of a spot.
its keeps getting more and more sanctions cast against it, Ironically, from the EU more then the US
the sanctions are in relations to their nuclear program, and would only keep progressing more and more with time.
and its already having a terrible effect on Iran's economy. (just this month they had to give up on subsidizing Fuel for their population)

if Iran gives up and just agrees to supervision, great.
if not, and the sanctions keep on coming, they might end up doing something stupid.
REALLY stupid
blocking the straits of hormuz level stupid.
drastically increasing oil prices stupid.

if THAT happens, you're going to discover that NATO is more then willing to step in.
after all, the spice must flow.
