Diplomatically, culturally, economically, and militarily everyone in the world sees Iran as an ostricized childish bully that is being relegated to sitting in the corner with the dunce hat placed upon it's head. Countries can line up and express solidarity and take their place beside Iran if they want to. Where will that leave them? Iran's internal politics means that the revolution needs to continually "double down" on their bet that the indifference inflicted upon them by the world can be won back as fear and respect. Once the threshold is reached where the credibility of the revolution cannot sustain the government of the day, one of two things will happen... present-day- Russia or Nazi-Germany. Which way will Iranians choose to go? What will be the "vapor trails" of their decisons? Iran is the new definition of disrespect. I beleive the world is watching and will take their cue from internal actions within Iran. Iran is the example of an immature nature state being relegated to the corner.
