Russia does stand to gain more if they cave into Western demands and backstab Iran, given the massive amounts of sanctions their country has been placed under: although it should be noted that they might now be banking on BRICS becoming a viable alternative (far fetched). I personally am very cautious about the prospect. Just doesn’t seem possible in the near term. Dollar is still too strong.
This is an unfounded worry, if I may. See, the war in Ukraine achieved to ruin the relationship between the west and Russia deeply and for good. Even after the conflict, there will be no return to the status quo ante as openly declared by western officials. So the notion that Moscow would ditch Iran for sanctions relief will be a far fetched one for the foreseeable future.
At this point Iran is no longer a factor in Russia's calculations in this regard, they are de facto at a hot proxy war with NATO right across their own national borders, and consequences will be lasting well into the advent of the multipolar order.
