Yup, plus, it would throw Iran back into extreme conservative Islam mode. Right now there is a major split between the urban and rural areas of Iran and the last thing the US wants to do is to unite them. The US probably accomplished what it wanted from this, get the Iranian people to believe they have the power to overthrow the government and scare the clerics. This was accomplished.
The most intervention I can see is a bombing of nuclear sites but Israel will most likely take care of that if anything is going to happen.
