Cool. How enforcable is that contract in China on a non-American citizen operating a company that only exists for a few weeks on paper to facilitate the transaction?

How hard would it be for Iran to open a shell company in third-party country like, say, Iraq to mask the transaction?

Not very. And the second you arrest a Chinese exec involved with that, China will arrest some of your citizens and await your call for the exchange.

Even more fun when the US gets another country to do the arresting dirty work.
