they will not make an open war to them, but probably an echonomic one (If they release to the market the huge amount of external debt from the US they own, the dollar will collapse and the US will not have capacity to import anything). Iran is well aware of this, that's why they are acting like that.
I doubt very much the Chinese would do that, as they'd be hurting themselves far worse than the US. The Chinese economy is mostly driven by the American consumer, and without US trade, their economy would collapse and their citizens would probably be stuck with North Korea standards of living. China needs the US far more than it needs Iran.
