From the news that has come out, and according to various sources, Russia is trying to defuse a major conflict between Israel and Iran at the same time providing arms to Iran and Syria as a deterrent, putting the US and Israel on notice Iran will be able to defend themselves if they decide to instigate a full blown war. China too has said they would defend Iran if it escalated. The reason is simple. Iran has tons of resources. They are also oil rich. They also produce advanced drone technology to China and Russia. Iran is also a part of the BRICS+ trade union and a strategic ally to both China and Russia. It's not that they have any beef with Israel. They are simply protecting one of their strategic allies and trying to convince Israel to calm down telling them it isn't worth escalation. I think they are trying to calm Iran down too by getting on their good side and providing support.
