Right now, from some Cuban Telegrams, some speculate that Iran was receiving support from China and Russia in a very subtle manner. One iranian military channel quoted in the Telegram channel mentioned the following:

Did Iran's friends help during the war with Israel? No one supported us publicly or explicitly, because it is not in anyone's interest to openly intervene in someone else's war. However, it is clear that behind the scenes, Iran's allies provided their own kind of support. It is best not to go into further details.

I have no doubt the PRC provided subtle aid, but I am hoping for something more overt. Something that would make it obvous this is not the US and Israel vs Iran (and Yeman and Gaza who the western press ignores or says is just Iran)

I am pretty confident that overt support will appear soon if the zionist entity keeps seeking war because that is speeding up the material conditions that will allow that type of support.

Right now, I speculate that lots of Iran's allies are buying time to speed the development of their material conditions(BRICS, BRI, industrialization of the global south, diversification). A hot war will very likely affect these long term plans.
