    Would the USA go to war against China to prevent China from becoming the hegemon? If so, what is the strategic relevancy of Iran for China? At least right now Iran is an important source for oil but that could also come from Russia.

      China would not risk a global conflict crashing their economy for a war in Iran. As you said, Russian Oil is sufficient for China.

      And no, not even under the auspices of chief Cheeto would America risk a direct confrontation with a nuclear power such as China. A proxy war? Sure.
