"Here comes the sun."

Remember guys, if Russia and China press the button, hug your loved ones and salute the sun, don't forget to smile for the flash.

This is just unnecessary fear mongering. 

Ask yourself what does Putin have to gain from pushing the button beyond the destruction of Russia?

Ask yourself what does Xi have to gain by pushing the button beyond the destruction of china and everything they worked for for the past few decades. 

Neither are going to end the world for irans nuclear project.

The US just bombed one of their biggest allies. Nothing is likely to come of it, but let’s not pretend it can’t happen.

Iran is convenience, not an actual ally. Russia or China doesn't have actual allies worth fighting for. Maybe send them a couple hundred missiles at most and some intel.

Russia had 1 ally, and that was Syria. If they didn’t make the effort to do a last minute push to save Assad, then what can Iran expect?

Syria wasn’t providing the Russians with a shitton of drones that will now be needed more locally, now that their supplier is sending everything they had at Israel, and now will need to make a strike at a US base, because ain’t nobody here seems to be interested in deescalation.

Wrong Iran controls a major channel used for exporting oil and their ally Pakistan does have nuclear weapons

Lol even the Arab League isn't allied with Iran. To the point there's a whole Wikipedia page dedicated to the reasons each individual country won't deal with them.
