China is also a huge energy buyer from Iran, and remember that China also supports Iran's reactor program. while I doubt that they would get directly involved as in shots fired, an American attack on Iran no matter what the situation would cause high tensions between Russia and China on one side and the U.S on the other.

I think I read that China gets around 20% of their oil from Iran, and I don't think they would be happy if that is interfered with....
I think the U.S. and Israel should be careful what they wish for when it comes to Iran.
