Would it not be in Russia's China's and North Korea's interests to make sure the Iranian oil supplies remain viable for them?
We know our war policy is not to attack countries with nuklar capability. So, has Iran received their's yet?
Checkmate.
I think what we're seeing here is the continuation of a creation of a new power bloc. One completely separate from the US sphere of influence. This isn't a new thing, it was called the GREAT GAME, for the longest time, with the US and the former USSR fighting over who would gain control of oil--a necessity for conventional warfare.
The whole Nixon-going-to-China bit was a culmination of an attempt by the US to drive a wedge between two massive communist powers---China and the USSR, that had been going on for decades.
Now we're seeing those two countries lining up on so many things. With more and more allies gathering around them. The encirclement of the former USSR continues, with US bases in Iraq and Afghanistan being the culmination of that.
The petro-euro figures into this as well. It isn't just the actual physical oil itself, it's also the money generated on that. More and more countries are easing away from US control, and so much of US money is already overseas. What happens when that money is worthless?
