The only "negative for Russia" thing I could say is that Iran is about to be yet another Russian ally that Russia is not going to lift a finger to help and completely abandon, following Assad/Syria last year, and their own CSTO ally Armenia, Russia continually abandoning allies is not going to be good for them in the long term, it's going to isolate them further.
Doesn't really help Ukraine at all right now though, the only major thing Iran supplies Russia is drones and artillery, the latter Iran doesn't need for Israel and the former is something Russia produces domestically now and likely in numbers which exceeds Iran's own capability, they don't need Iran for the drones anymore. Meanwhile Europe's attention may end up being split between Ukraine/Middle-East if things escalate because Europe is dumb as fuck and if Iran closes the strait then oil prices will soar which will hugely benefit Russia.
