I don't believe N. Korea nor Iran view nuclear war in the same light as do the major powers. I believe either one of them would go nuclear on one of their neighbors in a New York second.
Will the major powers stand down while they fight it out? Last time Israel used F-16s on Iran. Next time F-35s.

Actually had it not been for President Obama in the White House from 2008 to 2016 you might have been more accurate than you know. We actually signed that dog/pig/horrendous agreement with Iran which actually had a side agreement that we would actually protect them from secret attack, or at least that's what I have heard. I'd love to see some evidence of that but even if true I doubt it would shake many of the liberals out there for Obama was, is, and always will be King in their eyes. I dare say Israel knew that Obama would stab them in the back and reveal any stealth or planned move against IRAN so they didn't go through with the plan that they had already conceived.
What amazes me is, if I heard that right, Israel was going to use some Turkish air bases in their planned attack against Iran but again because of the distrust of the US all plans were scrappted. I wonder how Trump would handle it? I think I know and I think Iran knows as well.
