True, but heavy sanctions haven't been able to destroy Irans economy. After a harsh adjustment period and an initially tanking economy the systems will adjust.

True, but heavy sanctions haven't been able to destroy Irans economy. After a harsh adjustment period and an initially tanking economy the systems will adjust. And China will probably welcome Russian business with open arms.

China might have helped in another limited land grab like Crimea. Putin recognizing independent states doesn't align with the desire to reintegrate its own breakaway states into China, so they might not want to help.
