Chinese deals with Iran are all kinds of fucked; there is a lot of middle men and back channels and shell companies and banks etc.... We are dealing with China even now but anything serious would require, either:

A) China goes full "fuck your sanctions" to the west, which would put the west in a really bad position and legally cut off many companies from the western market, triggering a response

B) Iran gets rid of sanctions and starts dealing without all the shadow banking bullshit

Russia is new to the game, we've been doing this shadow network shit for a long time. I think the only country with whom we can actually deal (straightforwardly) is the DPRK who has been our true ally on more than one occasion
