Help me understand: Iran, Russia, Israel

So....Israel & the US talk about attacking Iran. But Iran builds drones for Russia's war on Ukraine. Russia wouldn't like anyone attacking Iran, right?

The only thing I can think of is that we wouldn't attack Iran's conventional weapon factories (so they could keep pumping out the drones).

And could Saudi Arabia cut off Kushner in some way?

The Middle East is going to be an epic mess.

...to get what they want, strikes would have to hit drone and other conventional arms manufacturing that supplies Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah as well as any atomic enrichment facilities. There is some Kushner deal somewhere that has been put on hold due to US/Middle East issues but don't remember if it is Saudi based.
