Is There a Middle East War in the Middle East?

The chances are quite high of a significant conflict in the Middle East may be entailing an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program. The real risk is that in 2023 they will acquire enough material and highly enriched nuclear material to build a bomb. If we didn't what would happen is we'd give Iran a pass on the destructive effect the dictatorship has had on the Iranian economy. Do we stand back? What happens? And do we find ourselves in an escalating situation with Iran in the Mideast?
