Agreed, nobody is going to help out Iran.
If anyone does it'll be China giving them missiles to hit a US boat.
That would make the US turn tail. Not start a war with China.
As for Iranian leadership, they just need to dig deep and wait this out. I can't imagine they don't have plenty of hardened bunkers.

The right kind of missiles hitting the right kind of boat could lead to a very grave escalation.
That scenario has played out before.
Eight hours later Iran's navy was at the bottom of the sea.
And there is no Iranian leadership right now as far as anyone can tell.
