They just don't see America's enemies as their enemies. We could tell them that if they see weapons to Iran, we'll sell weapons to the Chechnyans. Maybe then they will understand our issue here.

There is a difference between a state (Iran) and international terrorists (some Chechens).
Anyway I don't understand why America decided to declare Iran as enemy. Unfriendly - yes, but enemy?

Except that now Al Queda has intermingled forces with them, so we would be aiding our main enemy. We helped Bin Laden against the Soviets once and look what he gave us in return. I doubt we will try that again.
