I highly doubt its going to lead to that. The vast majority people are too lazy to fight for anything and would much rather stare at their phones all day. And every sane person knows war is hell so they don’t want that.
I highly doubt that Iran would attack the US directly - the most they would do is cyberwar
the US has the military power to force Farsi to become a dead language, and I don’t think the Iranian government would want to mess with force that powerful like that
I think what your seeing is probably a bunch of coincidences, there’s other explainations for that stuff you listed, like trump replacing govt workers with his own or wanting more deregulation for power plants.
I wouldn’t worry too much of a threat like that from Iran.
