China's problem is they don't have much ability to project naval power across the world. They don't have the type of navy that can convoy their oil shipments to and from Iran.
I do wonder what the administration expected to happen by now. Did they expect the mullahs to flee to China or moscow? Did they expect a popular uprising by now? Two weeks is no time to panic but I am curious what they expected to happen at this point in time.
Trump with his actions has certainly upset the world order (for good or bad). If he assumes the Chinese and/or Russians will do nothing in response that may be a miscalculation on his part.

Air power alone has never won a war. Ground troops are always required. I think the mullahs are just going to wait us out. Which makes me think that's why the sleeper cells haven't been activated yet. Widespread civilian deaths via terrorism would justify boots on the ground in Iran. If...
I say no just for their cult of assisted suicide alone.

Very interesting.
No better proof of the left wing desire to control thoughts. Of course all the riots in 2020 that preceded it won't be classified as an insurrection, if they are even mentioned at all.
