The unannounced visit of Mohsen Razai, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, to Moscow last week may be more than a simple diplomatic meeting between two allies; Allies whose relations gradually grew closer.
In the end, Rezaei's trip may be more than a sign of Iran's obtaining Russia's security guarantees, it may indicate Tehran's determination to build a stronger partnership with Moscow. It appears that Iran is trying to use its relationship with Russia to strengthen deterrence, resist pressure and send a message that it has other options.
On the other hand, Putin has the opportunity to expand Russia's influence, strengthen economic and military cooperation and complicate American calculations; without committing his country to military defense against Iran.
