    Lol. Iran has a strategic defence treaty with china.
    Why do u think their cargo planes fly in?
    Why do u think Trump had a Freudian slip and said ground invasion might be needed - he was told bombing will do jack.
    Israel is running out of air defence at this point.

      China hasn’t said shit. They’re very busy trying to avoid interrupting Trump

      All China has to do is not collapse for a few years, and they get to be the global superpower. And the trade war has helped unify them while also making stronger ties to US allies

      They’ve been handed everything they want on a silver platter, they’re not giving up the Chinese century for Iran

      Brother, you can’t say “Iran and Russia have a defense pact” and then laugh and pivot to China after I point out Russia is not going to be able to make good on that pact. You haven’t earned the right to be arrogant if you never mentioned China in your first comment. I wasn’t talking about China. But now that your mention China…

      China is not currently interested in a proxy war to defend a middle eastern ally of convenience. They’re gearing up to invade Taiwan. They will leave Iran to fend for itself, like how Russia let Syria collapse.

      In all likelihood, Iran is gonna be forced to just take the L and do a bit of posturing.
