Really interesting how attacking Iran benefited precisely two people: Putin and Musk.

You need to get better informed.

Compare this with Musk, for example: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CATL:VIE?hl=en&window=6...

Russia recently banned export of petrol, diesel and ammonia nitrate to keep domestic prices low so it cannot benefit from high internationsl prices for them (petrol shortages are caused by Ukrainian attacks on refineries, not sure why there is a need to ban ammonia export). Curde oil export is also significantly down because of attacks on oil terminals. So benefits to Putin are limited.
