Call me skeptical. Iran has been a few weeks away from nukes most of my life. Its a great boogie man to spin the masses up when they wanna spend more money of military stuff.
That's the problem. The boy that cried wolf. I think your point on China and Russia is more likely. What I find tiresome is the pretending that other powers have vassal states but the US doesn't. That Ukraine isn't being used and abused for US power. That Europe isn't under the thumb of the US. Its naive and ignorant.

Could be a typical distraction, yes. And I'm not sure if China/Russia would like to see them grow on the geopolitical chessboard
