The Islamists have no militarily significant allies. Neither China nor Russia favors a middle eastern war, except as blow against the West. However, a return to the status quo ante 1939 in the middle east definitely favors the West and would be the likely outcome a middle eastern war.

Russia and China favor the current status quo, with the middle east being a thorn in the side of the U.S., while they roil the waters by surrogates, to mix a metaphor.
