Wow the ignorance in this thread in regards to international relations absolutely astonishing.
No nuclear power will ever go to war with another. You really think that China or Russia would side with Iran militarily against the US, Europe, and most of the Middle Eastern Arab countries? For what? They have much more to lose than they would gain. Russia has even less at stake with Iran than China does.
Its one thing for them to be against US military action in Iran, its a whole other thing to actually take action. The probability of WW3 breaking out from a US attack on Iran is not likely. Any country who jumped on Iran's side would be essentially jumping on the losing side of the battle. They would have more to lose than Iran and even less to gain by challenging the US and its allies.

Doesn't matter. When it comes down to it, China is not going to jeopardize its relations with the US and Europe by using its military to assit Iran.
China's trade relations with the US is much more valuable than its relations with Iran. Furthermore, using war which comes with a financial burden in order to prevent financial prevent loss is kind of self defeating.

Pakistan and India still hate each other.
Pakistan is a Sunni Muslim country and has a different ethnicity/culture than Iran so they are not as close as one would think. They also receive funding from the US which they will lose if they tried to help Iran in a war against the US.
India is close with the US and Israel and also has a rivalry with China so is not going to side with Iran to help China out.
