Uh -- whut?

China has been buying oil from Iran in violation of the U.S. sanctions, but you want the U.S. and China to mount a joint strike against Iran?

This sounds like the retarded script of a WWE event.

. Agreed. If China bought the oil and the Iranians blew their oil up then it’s china’s beef to sort out/go to war with Iran.

Rather than insulting me, why don't you read what I said. Yes, China is buying Iranian oil (I said so in my post), but they need far more oil than they can buy from Iran. Let that sink in for a while! They need far more oil than Iran can supply.

Now India, China and Japan all have economies that critically need oil from the Middle East that is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz.

Now what would be “retarded” about China protecting the flow of non-Iranian oil to their Country, especially if there might be political benefits in relations with other countries?
