Nothing, China is a coward given their stature and power, but one could argue that the only reason they're currently are where they are is because of that "strategic timidity".Tell me exactly in the years that have passed since the strategic deal with China, what exactly has Iran gotten in return? It was selling oil to China before the deal.
I don't nessicarly disagree with your analysis but I think your conclusions regarding Russia are somewhat premature.
"Post western excommunication Russia" is not the same the "pre war Russia".
This new Russia is a pariah state in the eyes of the western world, Russia knows that and is investing everything into Eurasia instead.
It's a total paradigm shift and we therefore should recalibrate our assumptions about Russia.
In this timeline the relationship between Iran and Russia is not just a convenient one anymore, it's now vital for the two nations future, it's an authentic bond forged by necessity.
I'm willing to give it a chance since this new relationship is still in it's infancy, let's see how it develops.
