Very unlikely. We buy their oil. Fundamentally they actually fear IR long-term... since the regime's stated aspiration has long been to a establish a Shia Caliphate in the region, which would not likely be great for the Sunnis on the west side.

Minor drone strikes are simply the cost of doing this business. It's annoying, but not catastrophic... IR would not be using little drones if they had cruise missiles, capable strike fighters, stealth bombers, etc.
