Ukraine has published interception rates and they admit that interception rate of Iskander is <10%.

Ukraine had something like 50+ S-300 batteries and 6 Patriot batteries. Israel has 3 batteries of Arrow 2 and Arrow 3.

All you have to do is use your brain and ask yourself is China closer in tech level to Russia or to Iran? And this doesn't imply China is below Russia either.
The Ukraine-Russia example compared with Iran-Israel seems like a flawed comparison.

Russia borders right next to Ukraine and uses much shorter ranged strikes with less time for early detection. For example the Cherkaske missile attack was only around ~130KM deep into Ukraine.

This is not the case in Iran-Israel where the distance is far greater >1000KM minimum, that allows far better early detection/reaction times and tracking, plus Israel is a lot smaller than Ukraine it doesn't need equivalent number of batteries and can be better layered.

Israel also has the exo-atmospheric interception capability in the Arrow-3.

According to Iraqi Pro-Iran group

The U.S. Embassy in the capital, Baghdad, has evacuated all of its staff and contractors, transferring responsibilities for security, gate control, and access management to the U.S. military, out of fear of a repeat of the Green Zone breach and the burning of the embassy.
Satellite imagery from Al Asad airbase in Iraq also shows potentional movement of aircraft

We also heard about China sending ELINT ships near Iran. And let's not forget, Trump extended the decision to enter the conflict for two weeks.

These are obvious signals; either it starts to wind down soon, or we see more overt diplomatic steps, like UN security council meetings, followed by military escalation from all sides & their backers.
China sends ELINT ships to spy on U.S hardware in action (F-35 in particular), they do not care about Iran beyond them being "the enemy of my enemy" and might even prefer a more neutral Iranian government to stabilize the region and the supply of oil.
