Iran is at war, an existential war, with Satanic Israel, but the Iranian leadership thinks they are responding to an American "illegal military intervention." All of Iran's invective, threats, and vows are directed at Satanic America.  Not a word about Satanic Israel, the cause of the conflict. America is just Israel's proxy, as Ukraine is the West's proxy against Russia.

As neither Russia nor Iran understands that they are engaged in existential wars, neither has a war plan to achieve victory. 

 Iran's policy is to inconvenience the American empire with an oil shortage and vows to escalate Iran's tits to America's tats.

Russia's policy is called TiT–Trust in Trump. John Helmer reports that the instructed Russian media and foreign policy analysts, who I suspect are financed by oligarchs, believe what they have invented as "the Anchorage spirit" has "given Russia a lot" by removing the US from direct participation in the conflict.

The implied hopes are in vain.  What Trump has done is to turn over to Europe the arming of Ukraine with high-tech drones made in Germany that Ukraine, with US guidance and targeting information, is using to severely impact Russian oil production and refining, and to target and kill Russian civilians. Thus, the West has taken the war home to Russia.  Currently, there is severe gasoline rationing in Crimea and long lines in some other Russian locations, and currently according to reports Russia is importing gasoline and diesel fuel from India. As for "trusting in Trump," there are reports that Trump is considering allowing Zelensky to produce the US Patriot and Tomahawk missiles in Ukraine to provide more long-range weapons for strikes deep into Russia.

Russians have fled their summer holiday in Crimea where drone attacks are an everyday occurrence. St. Petersburg was under attack during the recent international meeting in the city, and Moscow's mayor just reported that Ukraine, a.k.a., the West, launched 1,900 drones targeting Moscow in the past week.  Russia is having to use its munitions to protect its capital, not to attack the enemy.

Putin, who insists that the conflict is limited to Donbas, refers to the increasingly successful attacks deep inside Russia as "terrorist actions." Thus, Putin refuses to acknowledge them as acts of war, which relieves him of responsibility to do what Russian war doctrine requires.  For example, Russian war doctrine at a minimum requires Russia to destroy the site of the German production of drones for Ukraine.  In actually, Russian war doctrine requires a devastating nuclear attack on the United States.  But as Washington knows that there is no threat from pusillanimous Putin, Washington knows Putin will not comply with Russia's war doctrine.  Putin proved this when he dismissed Washington's attack on Russia's strategic bomber force and on his home in an assassination attempt as merely "terrorist actions."
