Strategic speaking Russia depends on Iranian weapons to help them in their Ukraine war. China also can not see a Russian defeat there as the consequences will be huge for China visa verse Taiwan. Add to the fact China takes large amounts of oil from Iran and wouldn't tolerate that being affected its saving them billions.The problem Iran will face, in the face of a direct attack on it, its lack of air force. All these ground forces will get decimated as there is no way for Iran to have air superiority.
Saying that, I don't think Russia or China will allow Iran to be directly attacked. Despite Israel's attempts to do this I feel the war will be limited to proxies being attacked. I also think Iran at some point will declare they have nukes
So there is a high risk attacking Iran will draw both China and Russia in, to what extent will depend on how Iran is targeted.
