There will not be a WW3 at all..
The Chinese will make righteous statement but sit out of any war. For preservation of power in SCS.
The Russian is too busy with Ukraine.
EU will be happy with a weak Iran, so no more supply of weapon for Russian.
As for the ME, as usual, self calculation for wealth and security comes first. Saudi, Syria, Iraq, Jordan all open the sky for Israel and US jets. Beside making some noise.
These are what we witnessed in front of us.
Only some smaller forces declared to attack US and Isreal. The Houti, Hezbollah and Hamas.
Hard to see WW3 without bigger nation to join the conflict.

Do you think this mini-war will stop ?
No, it will continue and the Big Players will join in later.
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 87 PAP Ministers?

US has no money to embark for another land war.
Air strike is useless if there is no ground troop to support and secure the area. They destroy some nuke facilities will only make Iran build more nuke facilities in the future.

He will plunge the world into another world war and this cannot be rule out as he does not seem to behave rationally or with any bounds.
As such we should be prepared for longer term instability even if there is no world war there will be continuous economic and geopolitical instability.
1. Gold and Bitcoin are good places to park wealth as they are above countries.
2. Oil and commodities are good as inflation may spiral out of control during war.
3. Food supply may be on of off disrupted so have a separate freezer to store a few months worth.
no world war.
Trump is replaying the Iraq war.
Iran is not stupid like Iraq.
if Iran goes to war with US, the current govt will fall.
the war is ending soon.

This is where sgbutt got it wrong again.
WW1 market surged 88% in 1914.
WW2 let ChatGPT tell you....
" Overall Gains (U.S.): From the start of World War II in 1939 until its end in late 1945, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up a total of 50%, representing more than 7% per year.
Factors Contributing to Gains: Increased government spending for the war effort, boosted industrial production, and ultimately, the perceived likelihood of an Allied victory contributed to this upward trend in the U.S. "
