    It may escalate. And it may not be pleasant as a lot of old scores will be settled if the current regime is deposed.

    Indeed, Iran has a very colourful past, amazing to see how different it was under the Shah, as recent as the late seventies.

    "Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership.
    ...
    “The Finding was focussed on undermining Iran’s nuclear ambitions and trying to undermine the government through regime change,” a person familiar with its contents said, and involved “working with opposition groups and passing money.”

    The reason green has been adopted is cos Mousavis newspaper is Kalemeh Sabz, or the Green Word. Green is also the "identity colour" of Islam.
