Russia could earn an additional $40 billion by the end of the year if the oil price remains high, writes Bloomberg.

However, the potential benefits of the war in Iran for Moscow are not limited to oil alone.

Russia has also started earning billions of dollars from increased sales of gas, grain, aluminum, and fertilizers, which have risen sharply in price since the start of the conflict.

"Amid reduced supply, prices have surged: aluminum is up 12%, and urea by almost three-quarters. Russia could also gain additional benefits from intensifying competition between Asian and European buyers of LNG. The Russian aluminum company United Co. Rusal International PJSC, which accounts for more than 5% of global aluminum production, is receiving inquiries from the US and Europe about available capacities, sources familiar with the situation report," the publication writes.
