So Iran wouldn’t help them, and no clear motive for Israel, which leaves Russia as the most likely state sponsor.

From Wiki:

As of 2024, Russia is still not among the states that list PKK as a terrorist group despite intense Turkish pressure.

Putting aside the wide range of political considerations and subjectivity that goes into the decision-making process that each country has when they decide who to consider terrorists, or not, I'm not sure I understand what your point is.

Are you saying that because Russia doesn't list the PKK as a terrorist organization, that means Russia is behind this attack?

I’m just guessing they had help, and that Russia is the most likely benefactor in order to hurt Turkey for helping Ukraine.

No grand conspiracy, just ordinary realpolitik.

USA sponsoring an attack on an ally is a pretty big leap of logic.
