involved or supporting from the outside?
to me there is a difference between providing arms and aid compared to actively firing arms ourselves.
what i mean is Israel may very well attack iran directly for this, expanding the fronts into multiple countries.
an official world war.
otherwise many wars could be considered a world war. The gulf war could be as well.
im talking about multiple fronts across multiple countries all engaging. Drafts
Etc.

To me its far from a world war yet. But can change very quickly.

Israels reluctance in getting involved I understand has to do with Putin agreed Israel can take out Iranian sites in Syria after Russia entered Syria, and the US pulled out of the area under Obama. They have concerns that that may end if they get too involved and that will allow Iran more strategic maneuvering w/o Israeli air strike freedom.
