Perché la crisi in Medio Oriente avrà un impatto “trascurabile” sulla guerra in Ucraina. La Russia ha devastato l’Ucraina per anni con il drone Shahed kamikaze progettato dall’Iran, ma gli attuali problemi dell’Iran non intaccheranno la capacità di Mosca di inviare raffiche di droni verso obiettivi ucraini.

Good. The less the Orange idiot is involved, the better.
Iran is, or was, a significant trading partner for Russia. Even if drone production is unaffected, Russia will feel the impact in other ways.
And who knows, a democratically elected government in Tehran could provide drones to Ukraine.
Russia indeed does not need drones from Iran anymore. However, the war in the middle east will still have quite the impact on the Russia-Ukraine war, for instance because:
* Russia is rapidly losing allies (Syria, Venezuela, Iran) and this crisis provides further proof that Russia will do nothing to help their allies.
* How easily these regimes are falling shows that Russia’s tech (like anti air) is pretty useless against western equipment. I can imagine that countries like India are questioning their life choices whether they should really buy military supplies from Russia.
* Recent developments in Venezuela and Iran is a serious inconvenience to China and Russia already has low leverage with papa Xi.
On the flipside, rising energy prices will be beneficial to Russia. The price of gas is up. Moreover, Europe has a problem now with gas supply and might need to import Russian gas.
In fact, Iran can get shipments of ruzzian drones from ruzzia.
