They may try.

There would be more than just the US and Israel bombing them if that happened, you just don’t fuck with international trade.

Well, yeah. It wouldn’t be WW3 without more dance partners.

Who’s going to back up Iran though? Maybe the houthis, but they barely count.

Russia and China both have defense treaties with Iran.

Russia probably isn’t much of a concern right now.

China…we wouldn’t overextend a conflict to the point where China gets involved, right? …Not again? …For the third time?

Except it won’t even be a proxy war since the US just struck directly

I expect China wouldn’t be happy about the Straight of Hormus being closed though.

They won’t be happy watching the dollar crash and the worlds economy being replaced by BRICS and finally being rid of the US as money police?

I may be wrong but I think China needs that straight open, mayb3 even more than the US do.
