Is War Looming Between US and Iran, Or Even China?

Donald Trump and his advisors have slammed Iran over its latest ballistic missile test:

The question is - will the US do anything about it, if Iran continues down this path, as it is likely to?


Trump's strategic advisor Steve Bannon had last year publicly wondered about the likelihood of war between the US and China in the next 5 to 10 years:

Additionally, Trump's Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had said during his recent Senate confirmation hearings that the US would act to block China from access to its newly-built islands in the South China Sea.

“We’re going to have to send China a clear signal that, first, the island-building stops and, second, your access to those islands also is not going to be allowed,” Tillerson said.
