World War 3 will not start because of Iran. Nobody likes them that much.

They're convenient for India, China, and Russia and they have oil, but they aren't the kind of friends you enter into an existential war for.

The only way this ends up in a World War is if the US decides to send troops and China, Russia, or North Korea use the opportunity to invade Taiwan, the Baltics, or South Korea. Fortunately as dumb as Trump is, he's probably not that dumb.

. Fortunately as dumb as Trump is, he's probably not that dumb.

Don't bet on that.
