    Hey check it out, this guy hasn't heard of Franz Ferdinand! /s


    As to not be rude or dismissive: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is generally credited with the start of World War I. The implication being that a world war has been started over a seemingly small event that had tumultuous consequences thereafter. The further implication being that we may already be past a Franz Ferdinand assassination type event and may be worryingly headlong into a path to large scale warfare once again.

      So you are saying Iran has signed contracts with other nations that would oblige those nations to go to war with countries Iran is at war with?
