Rumi F. The United States of America and its influence upon the relations between Iran and Russia

Abstract: This article examines the nuances of the Iran-Russia and Russia-United States relations at the modern stage of development. The relations between Iran and Russia carry a global importance in all respects. The geopolitical location and diplomacy of Iran, as well as the close cooperation in the military and nuclear sphere, gave these relations a special international character. In the las two decades, any changes in the relations between Washington and Moscow become one of the most important and influential variable in the Iran-Russia relations. In the aggressive atmosphere between Iran and the United States, Tehran was always concerned that any improvements in the Russia-United States relations will lead to the isolation of Iran and increased pressure against it. This work analyzes the tensions in the international relations and new security threats, such as the spread of nuclear weapons and terrorism. The author concludes that the major negative factor affecting the relations between Moscow and Tehran, were the United States; and they are also the main reason for the overall development of the relations between Russia and Iran, as well as the improvements in the relations between Tehran and Washington. In other words, the positive changes in the relations Iran-United States relations could contribute into the establishment of the long-term relations between Tehran and Moscow.
