Because if they actually fight and kill UN members, that will draw violence against Russia on multiple fronts. A quick strike would end Iran's military and then it would just be Russia (and possibly China) fighting on multiple fronts (basically another world war with millions of deaths). Russia may believe that Iran has a right to have nuclear weapons, but I doubt that they will fight for that.
