No risk of world war EVER from anything in Middle East - currently NO CHANCE OF LARGE WAR WITH ISRAEL - Iran can only fire missiles from a distance - and Israel largely dismantled its proxy Hezbollah
Background: Iran has just fired a salvo of 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. As the BBC put it in commentary, probably Iran felt it had to do something. But it had no good options. This is not an attempt to start a war.
Hawks in Iran likely said they can't just sit back as Israel systematically dismantles Hezbollah.
Pragmatists - said if they hit Israel it will hit them back twice as hard.
Iran has compromised by firing a small ballistic missile attack at Israel.
But it can’t follow through even if it wanted to. Hezbollah, as it was at the start of September, doesn’t exist any more. Israel has
killed many of the fighters and lower level officers with pagers
killed many of its higher level commanders with the walkie talkies
killed the leader and many of the high command with the strike on Bierut assassinating Nasrallah and earlier strikes in the war.
disrupted their ability to communicate with each other
destroyed many of their missiles that they build up for 20 years.
It is going to be years before Hezbollah are back to the way they were before. Meanwhile there isn’t enough of an organization there to coordinate a response or to coordinate with Iran.

NO PROSPECT OF WORLD WAR EVER
There is never any possibility of a world war from ANYTHING in the Middle East. Nobody there even COULD fight a world war.
Iran is only interested in Israel and US bases in the MIddle East - it can’t attack the US or UK even if it wanted to
Russia is neutral and won't attack either Israel or Iran.
Israel is neutral also with Russia and Ukraine.
China is not interested in Israel, only in safeguarding its own oil supplies from the Middle East
IRAN IS JUST RESPONDING TO SHOW IT’S STRONG - IT CAN’T REALLY FIGHT ISRAEL - THIS IS A SYMBOLIC RESPONSE TO THE ASSASSINATIONS OF HAMAS LEADER HANIYEH, HEZBOLLAH LEADER NASRALLAH AND IRGC COMMANDER NILFOROUSHAN
Hezbollah and Iran are both very weak at present especially Hezbollah and though Iran feels it has to respond it won't want to be involved in a big tit for tat.
Iran still wants an end to the fighting with a ceasefire and two state deal between Israel and Hamas and a ceasefire / deal between Israel and Lebanon too.
It did this attack in response to the assassinations of
Haniyeh, political leader of Hamas visiting Iran from Qatar.
Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hamas.
Nilforoushan, an IRGC commander.
“In response to the martyrdom of Martyr Haniyeh, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Martyr Nilforoushan, we have targeted the heart of the occupied territories,”
. Iran launches missile attack on Israel for killing of Hezbollah leader, general
It was an attack by Iran on Israel with ballistic missiles. The US say the Iranian attack was ineffective. No injuries except sadly a man in Jericho was killed - a Palestinian labour originally from Gaza killed by shrapnel.
. palestinian-reported-killed-by-shrapnel-from-iran-attack-in-west-bank
Although different with more ballistic missiles and no drones, and much shorter, it is a symbolic attack like the one in April. Symbolic in the sense that it is not part of any larger strategy, it is just a tit for tat and serves no wider military purpose.
Iran notified the US and Russia in advance. See:
. Russia informed by Tehran ahead of missile strikese
The US was only involved in shooting down incoming Iranian missiles and will not attack Iran.

IRAN HAS NO INTEREST IN ANYWHERE OUTSIDE THE MIDDLE EAST AND COULDN’T HIT OTHER CONTINENTS OR MOST OF EUROPE EVEN IF IT WANTED TO AS IT DOESN’T HAVE ICBMS
Iran has no interest in anywhere outside the Middle East. Its only interest in the US is the US bases in the MIddle East. It can’t fire missiles as far as the US even if it wanted to which it would never want to do either. Its missiles don’t reach as far as the US or the UK or even most of Western Europe. It has no interest in fighting any country outside the Middle East.
In this attack, Iran used ballistic missiles NOT ICBMS.
Both leave Earth and travel into outer space. However.
An ICBM means an intercontinental ballistic missile
Iran hasn't got any of those and can't target the UK or the US for that reason.
An ICBM has a range of over 5,500 km.
. Intercontinental ballistic missile - Wikipedia
Iran uses ballistic missiles but not ICBMS
Israel's longest range missile the Shahab 3 has a range of 2,000 km.
. Israel-Iran latest: Iran launches massive missile attack on Israel, as IDF vows 'consequences'
This is why Iran could never even fight a world war if it wanted to which it doesn’t of course.
Nothing that happens in the MIddle East can EVER affect the US. See:
BLOG: WW3 in Middle East? BULLS**T
The only people affected were in Israel itself where they needed to go to shelter as the attack stated.

Why there can NEVER be a world war from ANYTHING in the Middle East.
Iran is ONLY INTERESTED IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Nobody here can fight a world war even if it wanted to so THERE WAS NEVER ANY POSSIBILITY OF A WORLD WAR
Range of Iran’s Shahab 3
range 2000 km
can fly into space but
NOT intercontinental (5,500 km+)
can’t reach UK
can’t reach US
Russia is neutral to Israel and Iran
Israel is neutral to Russia and UkraineIsrael is neutral to Russia and Ukraien
China has no interest in Israel
Iran’s only interest is to be able to hit Israel and US bases in the Middle East.
Iran is in no condition to fight a war with Israel
Its connection with Russia for the Ukraine war is purely commercial, it sells its drones and missiles to Russia but would never fight Ukraine.
Meanwhile Russia has ties with both Iran and Israel and would NOT fight against Israel in any circumstances. China has no interest in Israel only is in the area to protect oil shipments to China.
Iran is far too far away to even fight Israel if it wanted to, except exchange of missiles and for that it has to use its longest range missiles as there is nearly 1000 km between the closest point on its border and on Israel's border.
Iran can only fight a proper war with Israel through its proxies.
The only way there could be a big ground war with Israel is with Hebollah in Lebanon and they are far too damaged to even consider that. And Hebollah's military aim is just a few square kilometers along the border with Israel and Israel's aim is to demilitarize the Lebanese side of the border and both are in agreement on that in a sketched out peace deal they were close to signing before Oct 07.
Israel is doing limited raids into Lebanon.
Iran felt it had to respond symbolically to all the assassinations of high level figures in Hezbollah and Hamas but knows very well it would come out worse in any tit for tat with Israel so will want to bring this to a close pretty soon after Israel's inevitable response.
Don't know what will happen but not likely to be full scale Iran and Israel firing all they can at each other.
But even that would NOT risk any kind of a world war which is simply impossible.
The US is only involved in shooting down incoming Iranian missiles and wouldn't be involved in any strikes back at Iran.
Iran's only interest in the US is the US bases in the Middle East and those are not involved at present though the US has put them under heightened security.
IRAN IS TOO FAR FROM ISRAEL TO FIGHT ON THE GROUND AND CAN ONLY REACH IT WITH ITS LONGEST RANGE SHAHAB 3 BALLISTIC MISSILES
Iran can only fight a proper war with Israel through its proxies. But Hezbollah are no longer in a fit state to fight because they were so damaged by Israel.
But Hezbollah are no longer in a fit state to fight because they were so damaged by Israel with the exploding pages, exploding walkie talkies, the targeted bombings of missile stores in southern Lebanon and then the killing of their leader Nasrallah - for details see this debunk.

. Why have Israel and Iran attacked each other?
This is from Foreign Relations about how weak Iran now is
QUOTE STARTS
Iran has in essence sat by and watched its most important and most powerful proxy in the region be degraded, attritted, and humiliated by Israel. The loss of Iran’s own political leader earlier this year alongside its systemic conventional military weakness—and therefore its longstanding need to rely on proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Yemen-based Houthis—suggests that Iran has little ability to seriously threaten Israel. Last April’s feeble missile attack on Israel clearly showed that.
As for Syria, its decade-plus-long civil war has denuded the Bashar Assad regime of the influence and power projection capabilities it once was able to wield, whether in Lebanon or against Israel. Assad is preoccupied with simply remaining in power and has neither the ability nor interest in fighting Hezbollah’s battles for it. Especially against Israel, as last week’s non-response to the highly successful Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commando operation against a clandestine, underground missile-factory demonstrated.
Israel has clearly regained the deterrent capability it lost so dramatically on October 7, 2023. Its intelligence services, tainted by that unparalleled tragedy, have regained their reputation for tactical and strategic acuity and perceived omniscience. And, the IDF has reacquired its storied ability to act decisively on intelligence and close the operational loop linking collection, analysis and tasking with the application of overwhelming kinetic power.
Finally, a good outcome for Israel will be if Nasrallah’s killing, together with its systemic degrading of Hezbollah’s leadership and command and control capabilities, enables Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid having to launch a potentially protracted and debilitating ground offensive in Lebanon. In addition to saving civilian lives and further damaging Lebanon’s already-fragile economy and infrastructure as well as incurring more international opprobrium, Netanyahu would, critically, also avoid likely IDF casualties and escape another potential military quagmire.
Hezbollah is no longer in any fit state to fight a larger war with Israel. It has nobody in charge who could make the decision to fight such a war even at lower levels in its command structure and it would find it difficult to coordinate too to fire thousands of rockets at once.
There was never any risk of a world war, the main risk was a larger war between Hezbollah and Israel with Hezbollah firing tens of thousands of rockets at Israel and other Iran sponsored militants in the area joining in to some extent and possibly strikes from Iran.
It would NOT have involved either Jordan or Egypt - they wouldn't attack Israel or be attacked by Israel. No other countries would be involved as such just separatist militants in Syria, some in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen (which is very far from Israel).
That is what commentators meant by a "regional war". Israel + Hezbollah, some involvement from militants in Syria and Iraq, long distance strikes from Yemen - and Iran might get involved directly but with extreme reluctance as it far prefers to use its proxies and supply them - and its proxies can attack Israel from closer by too.
But nothing like that is possible now.
Hezbollah is no longer in any fit state to fight a larger war with Israel. It has nobody in charge who could make the decision to fight such a war even at lower levels in its command structure and it would find it difficult to coordinate too to fire thousands of rockets at once.

IRAN IS NOT INVADING LEBANON - IT’S DOING SHORT TERM LIMITED RAIDS FOR A DAY OR TWO ON THE GROUND
Israel has made it clear it is more by way of limited raids, to target things like tunnels near the border with Lebanon, in for a few days then out again. That would also moderate the Iranian response that it's just raids rather than an invasion or a long term incursion.

POSSIBLE ISRAELI RESPONSES - LIKELY NOT IMMEDIATE - TO DE-ESCALATE - AND MAY TARGET THE LAUNCH SITES FOR THE ROCKETS
There is no way that Israel EVER uses its nukes
The main things it could do is to use its own ballistic missiles or its missiles fired from fighter jets to
1. attack Iranian command centers (though most will be deep underground)
2. attack the Iranian nuclear research facilities (not the nuclear reactors - but those will be deep underground too most of them, there are some on the surface
The closest distance between the Israeli border and the Iranian border is about 1000 km.
These are ballistic missiles. Though they are flying over they are in outer space until just before they reach Israel.
Iran can get through the Iron Dome / Arrow system with enough ballistic missiles and drones.
It did hit some targets on the ground.
But when you see that many of the missiles get through - Israel’s air defences prioritize hitting ballistic missiles that are headed for sensitive targets and it won’t even try to engage with a missile if it is headed for an empty field.
This is about the iron Dome system from the last time.
. What is Israel's air defense system and how did it intercept Iran's drone and missile strike?
ISRAEL WILL NOT USE NUKES
Countries with nukes have them as a deterrent not to attack. No country can ever win with nukes. People worry the other way around that Israel might use a nuke against Iran and it certainly won’t do that either.
It would make no sense for Israel to use a nuke EVER. That would make it a rogue nation that not even the US could support. There is NO WAY that the US would use a nuke either or support Israel doing that.
Back to Iran:
IRAN DOESN’T HAVE NUKES - WOULD BE 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT COULD MAKE A NUKE TO EXPLODE IN ITS OWN COUNTRY - SEVERAL YEARS TO FIT ON A MISSILE - BUT DOES NOT EVEN WANT TO DEVELOP NUKES
We know from the IAEA that is still able to monitor some of what Iran does. Iran does NOT have even an untested nuke or even materials it can use to make a nuke, not yet. Iran can't have a nuke that can fit on a missile in less than several years and can't have a nuke it can detonate in a test in Iran for at least six months.
Iran doesn’t want to have nukes either. It’s not a single view there, the hawks maybe want nukes but the more moderates do not, because amongst other things it would make Iran more of a rogue nation and it would mean Saudi Arabia gets nukes first long before Iran does. Both Iran and Saudi Arabia want a nuclear free Middle East if only Israel would also join in.
Iran only has enriched Uranium Tetrafluoride gas which is not quite enriched enough to make a nuke. The thing is you have to turn uranium into a very heavy gas in order to enrich it - that is what the gas centrifuges are all about. They are filled with uranium hexaflouride gas and they separate out the radioactive gas by a slight difference in density when spinning very very fast.
The IAEA is confident that it doesn't yet have nuclear material enriched enough to make a nuke, but it could enrich it to make a nuke in only one or two weeks.
However that would ONLY BE THE FIRST STEP and still not be a nuke. It would just be a big flask of very radioactive heavy gas. It is not possible to get uranium tetrafluoride to explode.
They then have to convert it back to uranium. But that is only a small part. They also have to build it into a nuke
The simplest way to do that conceptually is to just make two sub-critical chunks of Uranium. To get it to explode you have to push those chunks together and hold them for long enough for the neutrons to do a runaway cascade to release vast amounts of energy.
The problem there is that as soon as it starts to explode the two halves will get pushed apart and the reaction stop.
The way that nukes are actually designed is secret. Though there is a fair bit in the public domain but not enough to actuallybuild a nuke.
So there are lots of technical problems there and typically
It takes at least 6 months to solve them to make it into a nuke that can explode at all.
But at that point all you have is a nuke that you can explode in your own country. It is typically very big with all the machinery to make it work. Far more than just the small amount of uranium that actually explodes.
The next step is to miniaturize it. To get it small enough to fit into a missile takes several years. There is some scepticism about whether North Korea has achieved it yet though it claims it has and it is possible it has - so that gives an idea of how difficult it is.
Israel could skip all that because it got all the data and designs from Europe and it either never tested at all or some claim it got South Africa to test a nuke for it.
Saudi Arabia can likely skip all that too because it bankrolled Pakistan's nuclear program and can like Israel could probably just start making nukes as soon as it has enough uranium to turn into a nuke. There were claims in 2015 that Pakistan even earmarked a small number of its nukes that it sees as belonging to Saudi Arabia if it wants them in return for bankrolling their program.
So if Iran enriches its uranium hexafluoride gas which will take only one or two weeks it then starts a whole cascade of events.
That would be a clear sign of wanting to make a nuke as there is no other reason to do that (high radioactivity Uranium is useful for medical purposes and Iran has a requirement for a limited amount for making radioisotopes which it exports to hospitals - it's one of its exports - but not for weapons grade gas).
If it does that then Saudi Arabia claims
it can have a nuke in weeks. It would likely get help either
from teh US or China or Pakistan for the uranium for the bomb or to build a nuclear reactor to produce it - and then it would already know how to make that into a nuke that can fit in missile long before Iran can.
Israel at that point likely has to declare its nukes.
Iran then ends up as the only one of those three in the Middle East without a nuclear deterrent and likely no deterrent for several years. Iran is not good pals with Saudi Arabia.
Indeed Iran and Saudi Arabia both want a nuclear free Middle East, starting with Israel declaring its nukes of course and letting in nuclear weapons inspectors.
Both countries support the treaty to prohibit all nukes, but won't ratify or sign it for as long as Israel has nukes.
And Iran has just voted in a moderate president who wants to negotiate with the West. The Ayatollah who is the one really in charge also is clearly not keen on developing nukes or they would have gone that way long ago.
So there is no possibility of Iran having a nuke any time soon, and though they have gone right up to the edge of breakout there's every reason to believe they will just stay there, one or two weeks away from enough gas to make a nuke until whenever they get a chance to resume arms reduction talks with the US and Europe.
IN MORE DETAIL - HOW WE KNOW IRAN DOESN’T HAVE NUKES
The original story goes back to Secretary Blinken who says that Iran may be "one or two weeks" away from being able to produce fissile material. In reality, Iran can only make highly enriched Urainiam tetrafluoride gas in one or two weeks, if it chose to follow that path. Not an actual nuke.
It is NOT EASY TO MAKE RADIOACTIVE GAS INTO A WORKING NUKE. Experts say it's about six months from the gas to the first nuke. But that first nuke will be a very crude nuke which Iran can only detonate on its own territory.
So, assuming Iran started on this right away which is not at all likely - that would take us to the start of next year.
But that is not yet a nuclear deterrent. You can't say "Don't invade me or I'll nuke myself" that's not going to be much of a deterrent. It would be several years before it has a nuke mature enough to put in a missile.
Also it is very unlikely Iran will follow that path.
The reason is that what Iran dearly wants above all is a NUCLEAR FREE middle East. It wants Israel to declare its nukes. Israel is the only nuclear power with nukes that are not inspected by nuclear weapons inspectors because it doesn't admit to having them.
Iran wants Israel to declare its nukes and to work towards a nuclear free Middle East. Saudi Arabia also want that. Both of them supported the treaty to ban all nukes - but they haven't signed it because of Israel.
Also Iran knows that if Iran gets as far as enough enriched gas for a nuke, that Saudi Arabia will soon have one too. It's possible that Pakistan promised a nuke to Saudi Arabia if it needs it in return for Saudi Arabia's financing of the Pakistan nuclear program. Or it might hope to get support from the US or China to develop a nuke.
Anyway, Iran is clearly moving just up to the point of starting on the path to make a nuke but it doesn't want to take the step of actually getting on it.
The new more moderate president of Iran won't want to do that for sure he wants to negotiate with the West. And Iran actually wants a nuclear free Middle East.
In more detail, this is where Secretary Blinken says the breakout time is 2 weeks, here he just means to the enriched Urainium Hexafluoride gas:
QUOTE STARTS
MS KELLY: ... How are you going to stop them? [stop Iran from getting a nuke]
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Well, there are – by far, the preferable way to do it would be through diplomacy. Where we are now is not in a good place. Iran, because the nuclear agreement was thrown out, instead of being at least a year away from having the breakout capacity of producing fissile material for a nuclear weapon, is now probably one or two weeks away from doing that.
... Now ... they haven’t produced a weapon itself, but that’s something of course that we track very, very carefully. And you put those two things together – the fissile material, an explosive device – and you have a nuclear weapon.
[He doesn't explain, only after 6 months and only after several years to be useful as a deterrent]
... So the first thing we need to see if Iran is serious about engaging is actually pulling back on the work that it’s doing on its program.
Second, we of course have been maximizing pressure on Iran across the board. We’ve imposed more than 600 sanctions on Iranian persons, entities of one kind or another. We haven’t lifted a single sanction. And we have much closer coordination now with European partners and allies.
Iran has had this ability for the last year or so, to ramp up to produce enough uranium hexafluoride gas for a nuclear weapon with about a week or two of enrichment. But it never does it which shows it isn't keen to go along that path.
But as I explained, there are numerous steps between a big flask full of enough radioactive gas to turn into a nuke and a nuclear bomb. 6 months to the first nuke detonated in Iran, years to put them in a missile.
And then Iran only wants its nukes as a deterrent not to attack. And it's only interest is in the Middle East, especially Israel, Gaza Strip, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, and it couldn't fight a world war and wouldn't be interested even if it could. But nukes wouldn't help there at all. They are just useful as a deterrent to stop other countries attacking them with nukes.
Iran can negotiate a new arms deal. Not likely until the Ukraine war is over. But they don't really want nukes. They say things like this to put pressure on the US to negotiate with them.
Iran knows that if it starts on the path to make its own nukes, Saudi Arabia will do the same and it may quickly get all the way to an advanced nuke it can fit on a missile based on the technology it bankrolled for Pakistan. Saudi Arabia is a traditional rival of Iran and bankrolled the Pakistan nuclear program and according to unofficial sources. Various unofficial sources back in 2015 said they believed that Pakistan might have nukes earmarked that it would just transfer to Saudi Arabia if asked for them.
. Saudi nuclear weapons 'on order' from Pakistan
A more recent article suggests they might hope to do it with support from the US or China.
. Saudi nuclear weapon talk is no empty threat - Asia Times
Anyway Iran doesn't want to find out :).
There are different factions in the Iranian government but the new president belongs to the faction that wants to negotiate with the West. Also the Ayatollah all through has been very cautious about this, he doesn't seem at all keen to develop a nuke and he has
The new president Pezeshkian has appointed Zarif as the head of the Strategic Council, to decide on potential candidates for cabinet positions. Zarif is a moderate / reformist who helped broker the 2015 JCPOA Iran deal.
QUOTE Pezeshkian has aligned himself with other moderate and reformist figures since his Presidential campaign. His main advocate has been former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who reached the 2015 JCPOA. Pezeshkian appointed Zarif as the head of the Strategic Council for the transition period of the administration. The council, comprised of experts and advisors, will focus on assessing potential candidates for key cabinet positions and ensuring a seamless handover of leadership.
. Iran's new president vows balance with all countries but warns US his country won't be pressured
Also as with everyone else Iran only wants its nukes as a deterrent. It is not possible to win a war with nukes. Israel has large numbers of nukes and if Iran started on the path to a nuke Israel likely has to declare its nukes too as well as Saudi Arabia.
So all this is politics and highly unlikely Iran really starts to make a nuke and far more likely they end up negotiating again.
But if they do it is as a deterrent not to start a war and NOT to attack the USA, they don't even have ICBMs. They could develop them but are not interested.
Trump withdrew from the Iran deal under his presidency. It is natural for his core base to assume that if he is elected he will be able to negotiate a deal with Iran. But he never made any progress on this as president. The Iran deal took a lot of negotiation.
It would need to be more like a new deal now to satisfy other countries.
