Within 4 weeks, the US will siege one of Iran’s islands in the Gulf. They’ll use that to control the flow of oil to Asia and Europe. This will cause a depression that the US will ride by printing dollars in exchange for letting oil through.
With that stranglehold, they’ll move on to Malacca and Nigeria within 5 years, in an attempt to corner the oil market and make the world fully subservient.
This might not cause a World War. But it should, and I think the odds are dire.

Exciting stuff. When does your first novel come out?
9 days have passed since my last comment. Let’s wait another 9 days and see, shall we? :)
The counterpoint here of course is that Iran might just win and expel the US from the Gulf.
