Of course not. Iran was playing by the rules because they were trying to avoid exactly what happened in the last few days.
EDIT: To add to this, the conflict is mostly due to Iran not wanting to share its oil resources. Just like Venezuela. Just like Lybia. Just like any other country who doesn't want to have its energy resources exploited by U.S. interests.
To be more specific, they refuse to accept US currency for oil purchases.
