Attacks on Iran: World War 3?

Back on February 28th, the U.S. and Israel had launched an attack on Iran claiming that Trump was trying to prevent Iran from getting their hands on nuclear weaponry, as well as encouraging the people of Iran to overthrow their own government. However, these attacks had resulted in the death of the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, setting off Iran with the U.S. and Israel receiving major backlash, and Iran attacking Israel in retaliation. Since then, people from all over the U.S. have had many different reactions, some afraid that the US is at war despite Congress not stating so along with others doubting that they’ll escalate things further and declare war with Iran. However, both opinions are valid, as the US and Israel have continued to exchange fire with Iran, striking a girl’s school resulting in the deaths of many, along with others arguing that war won’t be declared due to financial issues regarding energy prices, which could potentially influence even more inflation, leaving the chance of yet another government shutdown occurring this year. There is even more outrage from the people given that Trump had said upon his election that he would not start wars and would stop them from happening. This dreadful wait continues on until it is fully issued that we are at war with Iran, however, it is with hope that it will not be so, as not everyone wishes to be drafted.
