>legal shit?
Who said about legality? We have zero incentive to risk our lives for Iran's sake. Iran didn't acknowlegde any new russian territories, tried to push russian influence aside in Syria for themselves. We are ready to help their economy with trade between our countries and joint ventures in technology but we have no duty to protect them.
>You need to fight dirty
Dirty reality is what Iran not having nukes is good for Russia also, China will become more dependent on Russia, if they lost their oil supply from Iran.

Both of them are not our allies. China want war against globohomo to stop ASAP, no matter how favorable outcome for Russia is, sells drones to Ukraine just fine, instead of banning it. Them being cornered more in team with us is beneficial for Russia.

>Iran is a valuable partner in the Middle East for both China and Russia
For China, as 30% of all trade is with China. Iranian trade with Russia is minimal, not even top5.
>as it can project power to the entire middle east,
They can't anymore they lost it all, and cornered now.
>has large natural gas and oil reserves
Not Russia problem, really, as you just describing a competitor for Russia on oil market.
>a huge population of 92 million
Yes, and? Russia has no meaningful trade with these millions for the time being.
>offers access to Hormuz
Yeah, I saw such projects, but Russia has no land border in Iran you see.
>strait and works as a buffer zone to other Russian allies.
Such as? Azerbaijan? Turkish cocksleeve, not russian ally. Central asia shitholes? Not russian allies, never were. Just parasites.
>But yeah not important I guess lmao
yes.
>How about a public speech that messing with Russian allies is a declaration of war against Russia???
What speech? Iran is not russian ally. It's a neighbor of sorts with which we have good relationships. Good relationship /= alliance.
