- Please find attached next issue of the Bulletin PISM: “Iran in Russian Foreign Policy” by Robert Śmigielski.

Good relations between Russia and Iran during Vladimir Putin’s presidency were dependent upon coinciding interests in the region and dislike of U.S. policy. This made possible a development of mutually-beneficial cooperation in the sphere of military technology and energy. Russia’s support for the tightening of sanctions against Iran on 9 June demonstrates, however, that under the new scenario Russia does not want a confrontation with the USA or the EU. This increases chances for progress in finding a solution to the problem of Iran’s nuclear program.
