Im sure if an all out war were to break out between the two it would likely be considered as caused by military attack by Iran upon Britain thus triggering NATO defense pact.

It would probably look like, if anything between the two, Britain first conducting a very limited punitive operation, Iran then somehow responding and in doing so raising the stakes which would be seen as act of war thus triggering NATO and U.S. involvement.

However, Iran seems to know where the absolute red lines are and straddle them but barely refrain from crossing.
