3 I'm of the opinion that, if China decides to support Iran's continued efforts in this war, they will find they now have a lot more to lose than they did in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Personally, I'd like to see that happen.

As for Russia, they now have their own war to fight and may not feel they can afford to help Iran.

Iran might be screwed, especially if Trump can keep the pressure on long enough for the Iranians to run out of money and missiles. The big question is whether or not Trump can continue to fend off Democrat opposition to anything and everything he does. But, at the very least, he has already disabled the Iranian nuke program and the world is safer for it.
