"Briefly, the US has the capacity to decisively win on one or two fronts at a time, so its strategic logic leads it to want to wrap up conflicts in order: put an end to the Ukraine war, and address Iran next, to preserve its ability to respond to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The logic of its rivals is then the opposite: to tightly coordinate and threaten to expand conflicts on each front so that the US can’t effectively respond to any. This is a path to a world war."
So, if US hit Iran, we have to watch out for escalation from Russia and China.

Russia does not want to get into a 1:1 shooting war with the US--especially now that it has a puppet in the WH. Russia has always done what was laid out in GP. It has previously been doing this in Iran, Syria, etc.
