Crude oil prices have been climbing steadily since May, nearing the $80 per barrel, driven by escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran in the Middle East - a key oil-exporting region. If the trend holds, it could boost Russia’s economy and help sustain its war effort

I don't think that this will be a long conflict.  Trump needs to show who is boss for a bit and he'll quiet down.  Israel will as well.  

Hope so, it feels like Russia is going to benefit the most from it even despite losing an ally. Best case scenario is both Israel and Iran quiet down, Israel doesn't have an unlimited supply of interceptor missiles, they will hopefully say "mission accomplished" before that happens and they will both stop bombing each other, that's the best case scenario.
