#1 China, for all their anti Islamic actions, is still anti Iran sanctions. This is probably for commercial reasons.

#2 uighers attack the chinese state, it's the last mistake they'll ever make

this is a country that harvests organs by executing political prisoners.

terrorism doesn't work on a state that doesn't care about human rights. they just execute your family then you.

#4 Uighurs have attacked the Chinese state before

their most successful attack was before the 2008 Olympics when over a dozen Chinese policemen were killed.

The history of Uighur vs Han (and other ethnic groups) conflict goes back many centuries.

#6 No question the Uighurs have guts in abundance. Against the Chinese state today, they're likely to be wasted. It's too big, too organized, too flush with cash (both to buy off opposition via quota hires and to fight Uighur rebels) and too ruthless (as in the entire family might end up in the gulag en route to shallow graves as a result of deliberate malnutrition). If they're to have any chance of success, they'll need to bide their time until major ructions in the Chinese political scene, such as an armed conflict between multiple Chinese factions in the course of regime collapse.
