..the world does not yet see the prospect of Iran becoming another Ukraine.
..Ukraine war stood so long because of support from the West, otherwise it would have long gone concluded in Russia's favour
..now world markets taking the cues from US market reaction is that the prospect is greater for this war to be short lived, as Iran stands no chance against Israel & US combined.
..but increasingly we hear of military arms support from Russia, North Korea and Pakistan (and quietly China) to support Iran, so Iran could be a larger force to be reckoned with that markets now determine. And this could make the war more protracted.
..in a way we are have a proxy WW3 in progress, in Ukraine, and potentially next in Iran.
..in reality, Teheran probably could stomach missile strikes longer than Tel Aviv could. And US could not stomach putting boots on ground to fight a war that is not theirs to fight.
