Perhaps the Russian and Chinese stance during and after the ceasefire in the war that has not yet ended between Iran on one side and the United States and "Israel" on the other side was somewhat cautious in issuing political statements, despite the close follow-up by various circles in both countries, as they are very interested and concerned in this matter and what arises from it and its consequences. The reason is known and obvious, which is the enmity and competing polarity between Russia, China, and the United States. For example, the statements of "Wang Yi," the Chinese Foreign Minister, and the Russian Foreign Minister, "Sergei Lavrov," were very scarce and rare. The first reason is that this battle has not ended, has not been decided, and perhaps chapters of it may yet come, but they certainly viewed the Iranian steadfastness against the American-Israeli aggression with great positivity, and the inability of the United States and Israel to achieve any of the goals they raised since the beginning of the war. Therefore, they used their veto power in favor of Iran in the Security Council and dropped the resolution submitted by the Gulf states, led by Bahrain and Jordan, which bears the number (2817). And because they also believe that if a diplomatic solution to this war is reached, they will have an important role in it, not to mention their economic impact as a result of this war. Perhaps China will be negatively affected because it relies heavily on Iranian oil and gas, unlike Russia, which found in this war and the rise in global oil prices an opportunity to lift the blockade on some of its oil and gas exports due to its war with Ukraine, and that it benefits from the rising cost of energy to revive its financial treasury. However, this economic disparity between Russia and China may be politically different, as both countries, which have more than one strategic relationship with Iran, in more than one file, and have together formed and established more than one bloc with the aim of getting rid of the unipolar American dominance, not to mention the economic war between America, the world's number one economy, which fears the enormous growth of its competing second economy, China. In addition, Russia, which is waging a fierce war with Ukraine, supported by NATO and the United States, believes that resolving the military situation in Ukraine requires, among other things, that the differences between European countries in NATO and America reach a break and the cessation of American financial and military support, which Trump hinted at more than once. The stumbling of the United States and behind it Israel in its war with Iran revealed to a large extent the American military capability that did not achieve any of its goals despite the intensive aggressive strikes on Iran for forty days and in a way that affected more than twenty thousand targets, which China considers a real test of American military power that could collide with it if any escalation occurs between them in the South China Sea against the backdrop of the cold war between them regarding Taiwan, and that this power, which US President Trump boasted about and still does, has shown its realism and that it is not without limits, and that a country the size of Iran, despite the siege and sanctions imposed on it for forty-seven years, has managed to nullify their effect despite the losses and destruction, and thus has now imprinted in the consciousness of the Chinese leadership an important and useful experience for it, which may encourage it to proceed with the recovery of Taiwan to the Chinese embrace at any opportunity that comes with less hesitation than was the case before the outbreak of the war between America and Iran. As for Russia, its welcome and inclination to support the Iranian position appeared in the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin and what he said at the end of his meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi when he met him on Monday in St. Petersburg when he praised the Iranian people and their steadfastness and added, "Russia, like Iran, intends to continue our strategic relationship," and this in itself carries satisfaction with the Iranian action in the field and politics. This steadfastness and Iranian performance, both military and political, will also strengthen the understandings that bring the three countries together individually and with other blocs such as the "Shanghai" or "BRICS" blocs and others, and strengthens the trend to dismantle the unipolar dominance in the world. The conclusion is that China and Russia have reaped strategic gains from Iranian steadfastness, not all of which have appeared yet, but their revenues will grow day by day, especially when the goals - or a large part of them - of this war raised by the United States in particular and behind it Israel fail.
