Russian President #Putin plans to visit #Iran next week. Relations with Iran have always been difficult for #Russia under the leadership of Putin, but in the absence of real "friends" in the international arena, one can try to brag about friendship with Iran.

Bragging is, of course, to #Russian people. #Putin plans to hold talks not only with #Iranian President Raisi but also with #Turkish President #Erdogan. The declared agenda is the #Syrian question, but in reality, Putin is going to discuss a much wider range of issues.

It is important for #Putin to convince the #Iranian leadership not to agree to #USA terms on the "nuclear deal" and to use his influence on the Iranian leadership on this issue as a lever of pressure, or rather, a bargaining chip in negotiations with the USA.

Recall, according to our information, #Putin lobbied for #Trump's decision to announce the country's withdrawal from the agreement on the #Iranian nuclear program. Now the task of the President of #Russia is to prevent the rapprochement of the positions of the #USA and Iran.

Also, regarding #Putin's difficult relations with the #Iranian leadership, it is worth mentioning that recently the construction of the Bushehr-2 nuclear power plant is being carried out at the expense of #Russian taxpayers.

The #Iranian leadership, after a number of claims personally to Russian President #Putin and the Russian leadership, refused to pay #Russia, and now the construction of a nuclear power plant is a pure charity of Russia.

We described in detail the events and reasons that led to this state of affairs to our Russian-speaking audience on August 24, 2021. We will make a translation of that material.

Communication with #Erdogan, whom #Putin, for reasons known only to him, considers his ally, should also be intense. He spoke in a circle of close people that Erdogan, having allowed #Sweden and #Finland to join #NATO, would make concessions to #Russia on important issues.

#Putin did not back up his conclusions with arguments, so one can only guess what prompted him to make such judgments. In general, two people in world politics deceived Putin many times and always acted in their interests: #Lukashenko and #Erdogan.
9/12

#Lukashenko and #Erdogan often frankly spit on #Putin's interests and, as a result, #Russia. Indeed, it is funny to watch how every time Putin, with the same enthusiasm, goes to negotiations with Erdogan or Lukashenko.

He receives a lot of promises that no one is going to fulfil, then laments that he was fooled. Yes, and there is no doubt that the main beneficiaries of the fall of the #Putin regime on the world stage will be not the united #West but #China, #Turkey and ... #Belarus.
11/12

And if for the West the disintegration of #Russia with huge nuclear potential is a nightmare, then for #China, #Turkey and #Lukashenko it is a real holiday and new opportunities.
