You have an interesting world view.

The superpowers (there's only really one) have nothing to gain by entering into a wider conflict over Iran/Saudi Arabia and a lot more to lose. Plus nobody in the world really likes either one of them.

Anywho this is way off topic and the things you describe haven't happened before despite similar scenarios playing out.
