So is this how WW3 is going to start. because you know once Israel attacks Iran, Iran will attack any American forces in the area and China is a major allie of Iran for oil reasons. How is China going to play a role in this? We already know China has been cought hacking into goverment computers.

I base this on a few facts. Fact 1: Israel can't live with a nuclear Iran - period. Fact 2: Israel can't do this alone, but the US population won't support another war without good reason. Fact 3: That's how Israel operates.

From what I last heard, Russia and China will back Iran against invasion. Would not be surprised if India jumped in as well but not sure about that one, could ease some tension with Pakistan if they wanted to play as well. Everyone knows things are tense and anyone who aggravates the situation will find a lot of international opposition quickly build against them.

China will not get involved in any war on a military basis.
Any action taken by China will be purely economic (crash the dollar) or cyber (attack US online capabilities)
US will be crippled before a shot is even fired.
Why would Russia Oppose? They will make money selling their oil. Only thing they have coming from Iran is Money to build Nuclear Power Stations. China definitely needs the oil so they might support with equipment.
War was the economic rescue from the Great Depression and from new deal spending. Some cycle or trend forecasters (historians) are expecting a great war by 2013 - within 2 years.
