WWIII in Iran?

Anything can happen but an actual military offensive against Iran would at the very least require a catalyst or major provocation.

Most likely this would take the form of a major violation of the recent nuclear deal or something along those lines. The situation would probably have to be fucked up enough for Russia to be on the US side of that fight.

Israel, India, Pakistan, and the Saudis by proxy (they funded Pakistan's program) are all nuclear actors. The thing is as much as Iran hates the Saudis/Sunnis they would probably target Tel Aviv first, and at the very least use the threat as a major bargaining chip.

That's Iran might think anyway, but the thought of any kind of nuclear confrontation would mobilize the world's armies very fast and would lead to either Iran capitulating (unlikely if they've gone that far already), complete and utter isolation followed by a massive force build up on Iran's border, or full on invasion and war

A question worth asking is how far Iran's leaders are actually willing to take things, and how much the citizens and army are willing to put up with. Iranian citizens are basically treated like children, and their parliament is really just a facade given the Guardian Council holds final say on literally everything and anything. You're talking almost 80 million citizens and possibly a little over half a million armed forces members. There is already a strong underground culture in Iran devoted to flaunting their laws, but the average citizen probably does nothing besides eat and pray 5 times a day. However the threat of basic goods/necessities being cut off along with a possible invasion and wide scale civilian casualties might push the people towards revolt but it's impossible to say

You have to remember we're talking about a part of the world where some places have basic sanitation issues because no one can be asked to dig a deeper hole in the ground. How acceptable martyrdom might be is also worth taking into consideration.

Says only (you).

No, we elect Trump to stop WW3 in the first place.

Iran is gonna be happy the moment Assad takes Aleppo.

I don't see why ground troops would be used and it wouldn't be the first time American troops fought a Russia-supplied enemy anyway

>implying his best friend Putin won't ask him to call off any war with Iran
Wait until he has to start paying back the favors he's getting from other world leaders for his businesses.

People seem to forget that the Iranian people aren't exactly happy with their government , they sorta had their own Arab Spring years before the rest of the Middle East.

The point is that a lot of the younger population is a lot more western than most of the people calling for Iran to be destroyed realize, and nothing is going to drive them into the jihadi camp faster than the wholesale bombing of their country because some Americans had a war boner. Because liberal or conservative, they're also a patriotic bunch and proud of their past. And the quickest way to annoy one is to call them an "Arab", when you've already had it explained to you that they're "Persian".

I doubt it.

Trump is in bed with Putin

Yeah, but Iran is evil. Netanyahu said so.

He even has an irl infographic! Trust the infographics!

There's also no possible way that Iran simply wants to have nukes to defend themselves from Israel. Literally impossible.
