strip p tags around img and iframe tags in wordpress wysiwyg field

i try to get the p tags stripped around img and iframe tags in the wordpress wysiwyg field - unfortunately it doesn't work. i've tried the following function but no luck: 

function filter_ptags_on_images($content)
{
    $content = preg_replace('/<p>\s*(<a .*>)?\s*(<img .* \/>)\s*(<\/a>)?\s*<\/p>/iU', '\1\2\3', $content);
    return preg_replace('/<p>\s*(<iframe .*>*.<\/iframe>)\s*<\/p>/iU', '\1', $content);
}
add_filter('the_content', 'filter_ptags_on_images');

is there an error inside or does anyone have a more solid solution? best regards ralf

Nice fix Ralf! Just noting here that you got the problem resolved switching the_content to acf_the_content. Thanks!
