Trump's Economic Siege on Iran, China and BRICS Stand in the Way (The Duran)

While China might not be happy with the lack of oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz, this crisis has been brought about by the USA that has put Iran in a do or die situation. If the US and Israel agree to the MOU the Strait reopens. If they continue to threaten Iran then Iran has little choice by to defend itself by lashing out at US vassals in the region. It's not Iran that is in a position to back out of this fight, but the US and Israel - because they are the unreasonable parties in this conflict.
