Isn't in Putin's interest for a controllable amount of tension to exist in the Middle East, to keep oil prices up?

If an invasion of Iran really is in the cards, Russia might want to ally herself to the US -- strike from the north, perhaps carve out a sphere of influence.

A land invasion of Iran would be far, far more stupid and difficult than Iraq. In fact, any such attempt will, and *will* lead to the sitting POTUS' impeachment even from his own party.
