I think that the Iranian nuclear deal should have been given a chance to go. I know it was not ideal, Israel should have got security guarantees and so on. But this deal could have given a chance to 'open and 'de-radicilise' Iran. But now Iran has a conservative president (who may be the supreme leader in the future) and can find itself in China-Russia axis with unknown consequences for the rest of the region.
As far as I understand majority of Iranians are not radicalized,
and unlike the tribes in Afghanistan, have a strong national identity.
The ability to de-radicalize their country lays with the youth only with them.
The later of what You describe are expected and natural developments,
rather than 'unknown consequences', that would have progressed the same despite a deal.
