I think that the next war will be fought in Egypt - Nato from Lybia in the west and Israel from the east and Sinai as well as the eastern Nile delta will be taken from Egypt and annexed to greater israel.
I dont think there will be a WAR with Iran for a while, if at all.
Why do you think Egypt will be involved? For what reason/purpose?
Imo, US/Israel will not start anything in Iran until the situation in Syria settles down with either an Assad victory (with Chinese/Russian diplomatic backing) or a collapse of the Assad regime and an insurgent takeover.
Iran will be a much tougher nut to crack. I can see air and sea based attacks on so called "nuclear" targets, but definately no ground invasion. Unlike Syria, internal opposition in Iran is limited. Something similar to what Israel did to Iraq in the 80s when they destroyed that French built reactor through air strikes. If this happens, it will only entrench the current theocratic regime in place.
Longer term, if fundamentalist regimes get entrenched in Syria and Egypt, these countries will pose more of a threat to Israel than the old secular Bathist party regimes of Assad and Mubarak. Imagine Hezbollah/Islamic Jihad on a scale of 100 million instead of a few thousand currently in Lebanon. There is no reason to think they will be less hostile or more friendly towards Israel.
Say goodbye to Christian, Allawite and other minorities too whilst you are at it.
The situation is extremely complex.
