The question is simple: will Iran come to Hamas' aid?
Iran might not have nuclear bombs yet, but they do have chemical and biological weapons, and missiles that can carry them to Israel and beyond (i.e., parts of Europe and Asia). If they decide to join this war, and not just as Hamas' suppliers, things could escalate very far indeed.
If Iran stays out, however, it will remain a local thing, like the 2006 war and various other attempts by Israel to get Hamas to stop its missile attacks. The world will collectively shake its head at these kids who can't learn to share, and go on its merry way.
