They will negotiate like this...

US: We wont interfere on the Spratlys just don't interfere when we take Iran.
China: Approved!

In geopolitics weak countries = pawns and that's the truth.

in your scenario it seems that US is afraid of China..

i doubt..even if china will interfere..they cant do anything about it. Israel would be in the front line if war broke out with iran..

China orders Philippine Navy to leave disputed waters

"A STAND-OFF between China and the Philippines near a group of islands in the disputed South China Sea intensified when China ordered a Philippine Navy vessel to leave what it claims is its territory.

The escalation came after Manila said that its flagship navy vessel BRP Gregorio Dal Pilar was in a stand-off with two Chinese surveillance ships that had blocked the arrest of Chinese fishermen it claims were illegally collecting corals, sharks and clams.

A statement issued by the Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs said eight Chinese fishing vessels were anchored within Philippine territory off Scarborough Shoal, 124 nautical miles from the western coast of the country's main island of Luzon.

A navy team was dispatched to inspect the fishing vessels and collect photos and other evidence of their catch, the statement said, adding that the team found large amounts of illegally collected corals, giant clams and live sharks inside one vessel.

The navy ship later reported that "two Chinese maritime surveillance ships identified as Zhonggou Haijian 75 and Zhonggou Haijian 84" had placed themselves in front of the Chinese fishing vessels, preventing the arrest of the Chinese fishermen.

The Philippine government said it was seeking a diplomatic solution and had invited the Chinese ambassador to meet with the government.

Later Wednesday, however, the Chinese embassy in Manila issued a statement ordering the Philippine Navy vessel to leave the area around what it calls Huangyan Island.

"China has claims over the entire Universe" LoL
