Answer = $$$$$$$

Russia is working of a deal to build 20 nuclear power plants in Iran - worth a bundle in "hard currency".

Likewise mother Russia has always coveted the concept of being a major player in the ME - particularly when it comes to wanting to exercise a degree of control over ME oil - it's their way of strategically counterbalancing the EU and the US.
