Does This Mean World War III?

FEB. 12, 2020: As we should all know, President Trump recently launched an airstrike that killed Iranian General Solemani. This caused a huge uproar in Iran, and many think this could be the cause and beginning of “World War III”. 

I personally believe that this could escalate into a war, but there isn't really one yet. I will be seeing if Trump is in the right or wrong and if there should be a war. 

According to Common Dreams, Trump said that Solemani planned to attack American diplomats and embassies. If, and only if, Trump is actually correct about this, his airstrike is justified. If he is wrong, then this might be a war due to the Iranian’s anger. Maybe Iranians should start a war if they feel they need revenge for a senseless attack. If Trump lied, then Iran has ample reason to start a war. 

If this actually becomes a war, what would happen? Well, most people say the world would end. If this happened, the world would be in chaos because of one man: President Trump.
