I thought at Tehran and Yalta Russia's assistance in fighting Japan had been secured?

No doubt a combination of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in addition to the conventional bombing raids, combined with Russia's declaration played a very significant role in Japan's decision to surrender.
