Yeah, I imagine it:

- It would be bombed and looted by foreign army ("In the name of democracy!")

- Hundreds of thousands of people will die from bombs, same amount from hunger and civil unrest caused by destruction of the infrastructure and government system (police, hospitals, etc.)

- Foreign companies will take control of Iran's oil (the main reason why Iran is considered "hostile country" now is that it controls its natural resources), so that profits from selling the oil flow to other countries (exactly the same happened recently in Libya and Syria)

It would become unsafe to visit, and most cities would be in ruins. Crime rates would go through the roof.
