Things turned out well for Beijing and Tehran

Reno NV

Description

Afghanistan will be happy to get some Chinese aid, and in return the Chinese will get to build a straight land connection to Iran. Along this China can ship any and every materiel useful to their plans, and away from the prying Western eyes in the Hormuz strait. An oil pipeline from Iran to China would seem likely in a couple of years, which trade would be immune to any naval blockade. All 3 countries would benefit economically and politically, which the other neighbors would surely notice. They will want to side with strong and rich, pay their respects, and bring their requests. With all this, along with the deep trust issues USA has created in the past week, America will be utterly irrelevant in the entire region. For a very long time.
