Good question, thanks.

Right now, there are many young Iranians who are neutral or slightly pro-USA (they are too young to remember that we helped overthrown their democratically elected premier in the 1950s and installed the Shaw of Iran - we rememebr how that turned out for the Iranian people).

So, yes some risk, but for the USA I think the risk is very worthwhile.
