Agree. Near as I can figure the normalization of relations between Saudi and Isreal looked like it was going to come together. Both countries are an enemy to Iran. Iran did this to stop that agreement. Also to consider is…

Who funds Hamas? Iran.

Who funds Iran? Russia

it would certainly be in Russia’s interest to deflect the west’s attention from Ukraine

I am not sure “Russia funds iran”. Yes, they both have developed deeper trade relations since trump cut of Iran more. But so have the relations between iran and China increased.

All of these countries try working together in mutual benefit against the west. But I wouldn’t call any of them puppets of another.
