No, won't happen. No one can (or wants to) afford it at the moment.

WWII saved the US from the great depression much sooner.

The USA was already pretty much out of the depression by WWII.

What it managed to do, was to put the USA on the pedestal of "Great superpower, police force of the world", which for the last few decades had been Britain and France. Iran certainly isn't going to become the police force of the world anytime soon.

It was nowhere near the end of the depression when WWII broke out. Yes it was on its way out but it would have taken many many more years to recover. WWII reduced the amount of recovery time by a significant amount.
