Turkey will most likely invade Northern Iraq.

So, with the above two cases used as a reference.... This will give the US a reason to attack Iran.

Currently the US has military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pakistan is nearly in a civil war and Pakistan and India have been nipping at each other for years (I'm surprised India hasn't attacked in Kashmir). Israel just bombed Syria a few months ago, and it's only a matter of time before Iran starts the "mother of all battles part two" where they launch eleven thousand missiles a minute into Iraq at US forces. Most of Africa is at war with itself.

At what point does this become a World War?
