I highly doubt that an average American cares about some Middle Eastern Muslim country at the opposite end of the world. Iran is an existential threat to Israel and arguably, one may hypothesize that that isn't very different from being a threat to the US mainland. Again, it's a remote possibility. Highly unlikely, but not impossible.
We need major reforms. Trump is banking on our own strategic mistakes since 2013, and we are still making the same mistakes and nothing is going to change soon until it's over.
