>Iran has no friends
Events, dear boy, events.
You have the schism in Islam causing all the Sunni niggers to side with zionism. You have the previous Ayotollah's fatwah against Iran ever having nuclear weapons.
You have a belligerent America flexing it's ability to push global military reach.
You have a insular China and Russia unable to build a powerful military alliance.
Iran is in a very strategic position and America wants it either to flip or become a failed state. It will hurt Russia and China if it does but like Syria there's fuck all they can do about it due to its internal politics. Maybe they should of manipulated the politics of strategic neighbors more just like the west does
