Russia is more of an Iranian proxy than the other way around. And obviously Iran does train, arm and fund the war against ukraine. But…. Russia is also on a full war economy (comprising close to 50% of all production) so they’re essentially becoming N Korea. And unfortunately are able to stand on their own.

One good aspect that Iran was a major supplier to Russia and the supply chain would be under stress.
One bad aspect that rising oil price would be double whammy for Ukraine : their cost will increase and Russia’s income will increase.
