If 'outside-powers' engage in a war targetting a country that didn't start it against them, then it would be v e r y interesting to look for the reasons (mostly not spoken about openly).
My first question would be: who of the 'outsider' countries engaged would profit from the war in which way?
The front could be humanitarian reasons, but that almost never are the reasons behind the curtains.
If fighting against religious extremism and depotism would be the reason, there had been ample of time since the corrupt royal system in Iran got changed into an inhuman military religion-based dictatorship.
Look for the money-power...everything else generally is just a pretence...and power-hungry (and even criminal) state leaders like Trump, Netanjahu, Putin & Co will do what other political leaders did before - with the help of all those who see a profit...
afterthought: When will be the next airflight again usurped by terrorists? I wonder...
