"Mysterious blasts, slayings suggest covert efforts in Iran"

          Hello everyone, this week I found a very interesting article about the Middle East, particularly Iran and its nuclear projects. As everyone knows Iran is working on nuclear bombs, during this week there was a mysterious blast at one of the nuclear projects site. Observers believe it was a attack from the United States and Israel trying to stop Iran from accomplishing a nuclear bomb to use on either one of them, or if not, both. Iranian officials say the blast was only a accident, which killed 17 people including a founder of Iran;s ballistic missile program, Gen. Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam. "It looks like the 21st century form of war," said Patrick Clawson, who directs the Iran Security Initiative at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a Washington think tank. "It does appear that there is a campaign of assassinations and cyber war, as well as the semi-acknowledged campaign of sabotage." As this was said in the article, can this mean we are getting closer and closer to a World War, but this time, on a nuclear scale which can easily destroy the world? I chose this article because it made me think about what are the possibilities of another World War, which effects everyone.
