War clouds

It has been suggested that much of the trouble in Iraq is caused by people acting on behalf of Iran. Iran resents the US presence in the Middle East as it desires to be in a position to dominate the reason.

Three possible scenarios....

a) Iran invades Bahrain.
b) Iranian forces cross the Strait of Hormuz to capture the Musandam Peninsula.
c) The Strait gets closed to UK/US/Western traffic.

What would happen? What sort of forces would be needed to deal with it?

What would happen?
The US would respond militarily. Though we probably don't have enough troops to do so without stripping the cupboard bare (if it hasn't been already...)

Iran would become an American protectorate pending free elections - welocmed by the overwheliming younger population who would be incredulously outraged at the stupidlity of their aging theocracy......
