If it landed somewhere you can bet there was a fuel truck waiting, and once refueled it may have been flown back to Iran by the two to four "undocumented" Iranian "immigrants".

Do you think Iran is ready to take on China, having 150 of her citizens on their soil, in that scenario?
With 8800mi range when refueled, I guess it could make it to Iran if the transponder data was exchanged for a legit flight destined for Iran.
This puts Putin in a bad spot, Iran being their client, and I doubt Putin would encourage the forcing of Russia v. China although anything’s possible in this day and age.
