Did Iran just prevent WWIII?

The highest tech missile defence as designed and deployed Israel and the US was just shown to be completely inadequate against even third rate missiles. Iran didn't send its newest and nicest missiles. It sent some old dust collectors and of the 7 aimed 5 hit the most highly defended military base in the world. Suddenly Europe and Taiwan and North Korea are aware of the US and Israel's military shortcomings and the the much vaunted US navy is suddenly a floating target.

If anything, I would say that Iran is starting WWIII, not preventing it.

@IM5688 No Israel and the US have been starting wars that Iran has stayed out of until it was attacked.

@hippyjoe1955 The way I understand it is, Iran is threatening to use nukes if the US continues to help Israel. If my statement is accurate, then it is Iran looking to start WWIII.

@IM5688 Iran doesn't have any nukes. It believes weapons of mass destruction are un Islamic.

@hippyjoe1955 Well, supposedly, it has enough uranium for 3 nukes and it has developed the purity of their uranium to 60 percent which is the base level for a nuclear bomb.

Apparently, Iran gave North Korea information about building a nuclear missile program, and NK gave Iran information about missile technology.

They don't have a nuclear development program just to create jobs.

@DallasCowboysFan Iran can build a bomb but hasn't. Much of the fear the west has been fed is the result of Israeli propaganda. Israel told GWB about Iraqs WMD. Guess what... Ditto with Iran. How many times as Israel and by extension (aerial refueling) the US attack Iran already? Israel is the force for evil here. Sad to say.

@IM5688 They are definitely trying to.

@hippyjoe1955 Yes, there is a lot of disinformation out there, but Iran definitely has a nuke program.

@DallasCowboysFan Let’s hope you are wrong. 😊
