you are going to need alot more than 2-4 nukes to start ww3. and you are going to need quite a good range on those nukes to hit any city anywhere in the world. as far as I'm concerned, Iran doesn't have material for more than one maybe two nukes, in like 4 years. and they got missiles that barely can get into southern Europe if they try firing it at such ranges.

also, i don't really consider New York the first target that the Iranians would want to nuke. they got plenty of trouble with Israel that they probably would rather take care of first. even if it might make things easier if everyone in the US assumes that the Iranians wants to wipe out the US first.

Why would you need more than 1 nuclear weapon in order to start WW3? One nuclear blast in Israel, the US, Russia, China... would draw retailiation.

because people generally doesn't want to wipe out all life because of one nuke. that nuke might kill a million, but thats just 1/6000. still a big-time world changing event, but its not likely that people will start dropping nukes like crazy just because one went off.

Are you defining WW3 as Armageddon? WW3 imo would be any nuclear exchange and the conventional war that would follow it.

Fear will prevent the major superpowers from intervening. Nuclear weapons are a lose/lose situation with the amount the US, China and Russia have in stock.

Israel and Iran will just glass each other..

well you said ww3 but in the generic train of thought of the thread at that moment, the hidden guy and the gang believing in him sort of goes for armageddon. world war 3 might be a very troublesome situation if every superpower goes "all in", as elerium mentions, fear for your survival will most likely mean that superpowers won't even fight directly, but through proxy as they are doing now.
