I don't think anyone honestly believes that's going to happen. I think we all know that all this talk about freedom and democracy is just a ruse, and the actual plan is for the US and Israel to back the overthrow of the Iranian government and then install a puppet regime which subverts the will of the people, just like we've seen happen in all those other monarchies and dictatorships in the region. They can't allow democracy to flourish in the middle east because the genocidal apartheid state of Israel is very unpopular among the people who live there. All this talk about bringing freedom and democracy to the Iranian people is a performance to manufacture consent for more aggressive regime change interventionism, with no intention to actually allow such a thing to emerge.
