There's no way a conflict like this would be worthy of being called a World War. It'd be NATO against Iran and maybe Syria.

You also have to remember that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the UN has been treated more seriously and any time a country gets close to declaring war, they are usually cooled down by the UN. And other than a few civil wars (Balkans, Libya) and anti-insurgency campaigns (Afghanistan, Colombia) there hasn't been a single "real" war in a while.

On another note even if Iran somehow made a working nuke, it would literally have just that. One working nuke compared to the 30,000 that the US has. Lets say they nuke Washington, the US would destroy Iran so bad that every country in the entire world would literally be crapping their pants.

All of these anti-Zionist and anti-American countries are good at talking but not at doing. When it comes time to truly fight you will see how few countries will dare stand up against a country like the US or Israel.
