Gus > China will let India tap a bigger portion of Myanmar's energy reserves IF AND ONLY IF India doesn't side with the US/Israel on the Iranian issue. If India turns against Iran then... she can kiss goodbye to her Myanmar deal(s). Hence India's facing the risk of losing BOTH Iran and Myanmar gas supplies.

If this is true then it follows

(a) the US/Israeli stand-off with Iran is merely a proxy for a much wider conflict between the US and China and, of course, the US and Russia

(b) because the US can never win against China or Russia, it would be silly to start anything with Iran.
