    The solution is for China, Europe, and Russia to get together and negotiate with Iran. Iran will trust this group. Iran would be willing to let China or Russia hold its enriched uranium.

        Suppose that the Iranian regime collapses and a new government friendly to the US takes over. Then the US would control Iranian oil. If Russia doesn’t want to join, China could just join with Europe.
