China has Iran's back.
(Bloomberg) -- China’s top diplomat told Iran that the nations can work together across a range of areas in the future, signaling their ties remain solid following Tehran’s unprecedented attack on Israel.
“China is ready to steadily advance practical cooperation in various fields with Iran and promote greater development of China-Iran relations,” Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Iranian counterpart Hossein Amirabdollahian in a phone call on Monday.
Wang also said China noted Iran’s position that its military action was “limited” and the country was “exercising its right of self-defense,” according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry in Beijing. China also believed Iran could handle the situation to “avoid further turbulence,” he said.
Wang’s comments offer Iran a measure of diplomatic support after its
missile and drone attack on Israel sparked worries of a broader conflict. Tehran said the move was retaliation for
an attack on its embassy compound in Syria that killed top Iranian military officers. This was the first time Iran has struck Israel from its soil.
Wasn't Wang Rodney Dangerfield's playing partner in
Caddyshack?

No good playing nice with those that have no intention of playing nice.
Seems a viable strategy.
