actually, i highly doubt russia wants to see iran with nuclear capability-- that means russia will have less influence on what they can do with tehran. what the russians like is the current situation, where the US is forced to spend greater amounts of money and political capital against what they consider a proxy power.
If Russia wants to settle disputes, then proxy power isint the way to go. If we the US used proxy power to our ability with Russia then Cuba and Venezuala would no longer be a port of call for the Russians and three more former soviet blocs would already be in NATO.
In other words it need not be this way but this is the road they are traveling so we should certainly act in our own defense instead of making deals over terrorist regimes.
