Russia and China are both providing Intel and there's speculation that they may have provided anti-air equipment as well. I don't think it's likely that either will escalate their involvement, though.

What would heat things up is probably a Pakistan/India conflict, or China making moves toward a hard reunification with Taiwan. I don't think these are likely either, but the chances increase if the Gulf conflict results in the imperial hegemony of the US diminishing.
