Sino-Iranian War
The China-Iran War was a conflict between China and Iran that began on April 16, 2011. It was one of the fronts of the much larger World War V, and the first significant sub-conflict of the global war to break out in Asia.
The war is a result of China fully entering World War V in an attempt to help its EDEN allies in Europe, as well as assisting the joint EDEN-Terra effort against the global expansion of ONE.
Background
China's EDEN allies had suffered considerable losses under the advancements of ONE into Eastern Europe. The countries of Croatia, Romania, Italy, and Bulgaria had all been conquered by ONE-aligned forces in the weeks before China's attack upon Iran.
During the ONE Invasion of Bulgaria, Iran had assisted ONE forces in conquering the Bulgaria. As a result, China vacillated on its next move, but eventually took control of territories in India. This would eventually provide the country with a corridor by which to attack Iran.
Chinese advancements into Iran were initially relatively swift, however, Iranian resistance forces would plague the Chinese offensive, eventually permitting Iran the ability to re-secure its original regions as the the conflict wore on.
After ten days of fighting, both nations would make little progress. Eventually China would become embroiled in the Serbia-Russia War shortly after Serbia pushed deeply into the Russian homeland, particularly in the east along the northern borders of China. Meanwhile, Iran would also face a growing threat from the Middle East by both Saudi Arabia and Israel.
As a result, both nations would agree to a cessation of hostilities and make peace on April 27, 2011.

Aftermath
On April 27, 2011 both nations would sign a peace treaty, bringing the war officially to an end. China would cease hostilities because of a concurrent Serbian invasion of Russia during the Serbia-Russia War. Additionally, by the time of the treaty, the EDEN allies in Europe which China had sought to assist had already begun their own wars of liberation, such as the Bulgarian Independence War.
Iran would also turn its attention to wars which had erupted in the Middle East, particularly by attacking Saudi Arabia and Israel during conflicts resulting in part out of Operation Leaven Elimination.
