"China will be furious," says Panitan Wattanayagorn, a security and defense analyst at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. "They want stability along their borders, no matter what the cost.

Saeed Laylaz, a reformist analyst in Tehran, says only an end to U.S. sanctions and admission to the World Trade Organization might tempt the regime - something the U.S. is unlikely to support.
