I also assume Belarus may also provide weapons from Russia to Iran as a dealer to blur the image of Russia dealing with terrorist groups by inderectly doing bussiness, if Russia has any problems for direct sales.

Belarus can't supply any modern Russian arms to anyone without direction from Russia.

Maybe, but on the other hand Russians openly sell weapons to Iran.

While the Kremlin remains a major supplier of nuclear technology for Iran's nuclear programme, President Vladimir Putin would face serious problems if he had to explain to the rest of the world how the Islamic Republic had acquired the most recent generation of S-300PSs. For this reason, Belarus and its increasingly isolated regime could provide an alternative supply route and one that would offer Moscow the cover of 'plausible deniability' once the missile transfer has been effected. More evidence that Russia is not as it presents itself to the West.

An alliance sustained by money and hatred.
When you look at this anti-USA coalition that seems to be growing up (Iran, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Myanmar, Venezuela, Cuba) the thing that comes to mind is how pathetic and corrupt all of these entities are, all desperate to protect the personal privileges of the ruling cliques.
It's more an axis of cockroaches than an axis of evil.
