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.

Not really considered true.  Economists actually believe FDR's plans didn't get us out of the great depression and actually prolonged it.  Things were "fixed" shortly however were headed for another massive downturn until WW2.
