Putin won't help Iran because Trump is far more useful to him. And they're both going to benefit from soaring oil prices and global chaos. So will Xi (from the global instability), as he eyes invading Taiwan.

Bush the lesser saved Putin from bankruptcy with his 2003 invasion of Iraq. Now Putin's US viceroy is repeating that ploy by invading Iran.

Putin didn’t help Syria, (other than to give Assad refuge in Russia), so I don’t see him helping Iran either. Even if he wanted to, I’m not sure he has the means at this moment.

Thank you for the up close reporting on Ukraine and how the Iran war plays a role in the Russian economy. As far as weapons, Russia can't afford to give Iran weapons since Russia needs them to battle and terrorize Ukraine. Iran can't afford to give Russia weapons since they need them to battle their enemies. While Russia benefits fro higher oil prices in the short term, Iran also needs its oil revenues fpr domestic needs,so they need access to buyers Only time will tell whether Russia sees significant benefits, but they will likely have to find weaponry elsewhere than Iran. trump offers nothing but chaos and corruption and that is on full display now.
