Not all is sweetness and light between Iran and Russia
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
MOSCOW - Vladimir Putin's last-minute decision to fulfill U.N. Security Council Resolution 1803 on Iran before handing over power to Dmitry Medvedev surprised many. (article 4) It would be surprising if Russia, which co-authored and voted for the U.N. sanctions, had not joined their enforcement. (article 4) Iranian Ambassador to Russia Gholamreza Ansari said, with good reason, that Putin's rule was a golden period in Russian-Iranian relations. (article 4) Putin also proposed setting up an international uranium-enrichment center in Russia, which Iran would be able to use. (article 4) This idea allowed International Atomic Energy Agency experts and international negotiators to convince Iran to suspend, if not terminate, its uranium-enrichment project, and also offered a chance for a diplomatic resolution to Iran's nuclear problem. (article 4) Last, Iran has greatly enhanced its status in Central Asia by receiving observer status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and becoming a prominent candidate for membership in that regional body. (article 4) In addition, Iran is also Russia's strategic partner in such crucial regions as the Caucasus, the Caspian and Central Asia, as well as in the energy and gas spheres. (article 4) Other problems are Iran's missile program, its anti-Israeli rhetoric, and its questionable stance regarding the Arab-Israeli problem. (article 4)
