Probably not because Iran has no atomic bomb.

Short of China invading Taiwan, this is probably the closest we will get. Multiple world powers fighting each other, proxy wars, etc.

No, Russia and China don't give a shit. Russia is too busy with losing to Ukraine, and China isnt happy with Iran bombing places that actually give China more oil than they do.

"the WW3"

Ah, yes, "the world war 3". That's how words work.

No.

IMO 2026 is the turn around year for europe/russia already and europe will slowly provide enough stability to the world to prevent WW3.

Lots of stupid wars and conflicts lay ahead though.

No, WW3 won't happen until China goes for Taiwan, and even then that's just another step, dunno if that would explode into a bonafide world war.

The odds just got higher. If China goes for Taiwan, and the US goes all out to defend them, I'm willing to say thats it, WW 3.

It won't be as cinematic as the second, but that's my line.

Iran has been stirring shit for too long for anyone with military credibility to step in on its behalf. It’ll be a regional conflict at most.
