So it’s official: Washington is pulling the plug on military aid to Ukraine. At Congressional hearings this week US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth confirmed the Trump administration has a “very different view” of the war in Ukraine to that of Joe Biden’s – and insisted that a “negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation’s interests.”
It is very likely that China is already helping Iran in the sidelines. Iran is crucial for the belt and road initiative. Iran’s missiles require satellite communication for coordination and Iran does not have those capabilities. Also in regards to electronic warfare, Iran is not as capable as other more powerful nations. It’s very likely that China and Russia are supporting Iran in that regard.
Pakistan may also act as China’s proxy. There are Shia militias both in Afghanistan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia who are willing to help Iran in case the war gets into the ground. And Iran also has allies in Ansar Allah and Hezbollah (who have a presence both in Qatar and Lebanon). So there’s a coalition working in the shadows but ready to set foot in the ground to aid Iran in this war.

Too bad it is in Portuguese.
There are reports of military transfers from China to Iran already. It would obviously be a huge disaster for both Russia and China if Iran was destroyed by the US. I think they will provide as much support as they’re able here.
