Russia makes a lot of money off of Iran (by selling weapons, mainly).
It's in their best interest than Iran is not "liberated".
The move of military force is supposed to send a message that Russia would support Iran if someone tries to liberate it.
The US doesn't want to start shit in Iran, it's the Israel who wants to attack. If Russia is to support Iran, the US would be even more reluctant to get involved. And without US support the Israel won't stand a chance.
