The ties that connect the United States, China and Russia are far more important to those three countries than anything IRAN does or ends up getting their ass kicked because of.

But these days countries as China and the US with their economies are too much intertwined, yes China would like the US weakened but this is not the moment for them to strike, first they want Taiwan, Sparkly islands, other important trading partners perhaps, and more sophisticated military for rapid deployment, aircraft carriers etc., it would be too soon for them to take control,

Ya think? Wars have traditionally been used to perk up the economy. I know it sounds ridiculous but it's true. Apart from that I would say Israel definitely thinks it's in it's interests. It's sounding like they believe they have no other option to defend themselves. They may think they can get away with a couple of 'surgical strikes' even.
My parents went through World War 11 and their parents went through World War 1. History has shown that these things can escalate from something relatively minor and we have a heck of a lot of things going on right now that are definitely not minor.

Iran has never wanted war. Their history proves so.
The US is all about war and their history proves it as well.
The US will do and say anything to instigate war. In fact, the US is ONLY about war from its inception to its current actions and policy.
Anything else?
Peace
