War On Iran Expands Into World War 3

While the USA and Israel have been striking thousands of sites in Iran, Iran has been striking targets throughout the Middle East which has caused the war to expand to other countries and now even Europe is involved. Iran's missiles have a range of less than 2,000 miles so they can't strike the USA or Europe directly. So, Iran has carried out drone and missile strikes against its neighbors and many of them have been successful.

After Iran struck their base in Cyprus, the United Kingdom is sending their air defense destroyer HMS Dragon there along with helicopters with counter-drone capabilities. Their Ministry of Defense says their Royal Air Force F-35 jets have already shot down drones over Jordan, Iraq, and Qatar.

France has defense agreements with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, and Qatar. They are sending their only aircraft carrier the Charles de Gaulle to the eastern Mediterranean along with sending a frigate equipped with air-defense systems to Cyprus.

Spain (along with the UK) wouldn't let the USA use its bases to attack Iran, so Trump is verbally attacking those two countries (both of which are members of NATO). Trump just threatened to cut off all trade with Spain in retaliation.

China is angry because Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz where 30% of their oil supply travels through, so we're about to have a naval battle in the Persian Gulf. Trump has just promised the world that the US Navy will escort the oil tankers through the Strait and says he has ordered a federal agency to provide "political risk insurance and guarantees for ALL Maritime Trade" in the Gulf. That is going to be expensive!

Pakistan and Afghanistan have started their own war with each other, so that's another volatile hotspot in the Middle East that nobody is paying attention to because of the war against Iran.

Israel isn't passing up this opportunity to continue their genocide in Gaza, but they've also sent troops and started attacking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Trump and Israel's Crime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have started this war with Iran with no plan on how to end it. By assassinating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, they have infuriated the Shiite population around the world. Shia is the second largest branch of Muslims, so there could be revenge strikes carried out all over the world.

There is no way to win this war by airstrikes alone, and history teaches us that there's a very good chance someone worse that the previous Ayatollah takes over Iran as Supreme Leader. The Iranian people can't hold a revolution because of Iran's army (the Artesh) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The entire purpose of the formation of the IRGC in 1979 was to ensure regime survival by preventing internal coups, and guarding their theocracy against foreign interference. Unless the Artesh and IRGC suddenly switch to the side of the protesters, then another revolution in Iran is doomed.

Trump and Netanyahu have opened a Pandora's Box across the world, and Russia and China are paying close attention. By the USA and Israel carrying out a supposedly "pre-emptive strike" against Iran and trying to force a regime change in Iran and Venezuela, we have lost the moral high ground. This gives Putin an excuse to strike Europe and gives Xi a reason for China to take Taiwan. They were planning for an invasion in 2027, but I'm sure the war in Iran has sped up their schedule.

The USA is going to run short on missiles, drones, and ammunition, so now is the perfect time for the other radical nations around the world to act a fool. Trump has started World War 3 and so far I haven't heard any plans on how to end it.
