Russia has finalized preparations to provide a $1 billion loan to Iran, with the funds ready for transfer once Tehran provides bank account details, Iranian media reported Tuesday. Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency said the payment process had been finalized but disagreements among Iranian government bodies over how the money should be spent have delayed the transfer. The loan was first reported in June and was described as the first installment of a planned $20 billion Russian loan to Iran, according to Fars.

Hundreds of thousands Islamists praying and blocking the streets of Moscow, granted by Putin : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HLlgbaF0G48
Russia is by far the most Islamized country in geographical Europe. No wonder Putin is giving in...
Imagine a world without Iran, Russia and North Korea
My entire life these A holes have done nothing but make the world worse in every way.
Russia is AGAIN undercutting Trump’s efforts to win against the Islamic State of Iran. Putin is giving/loaning 1 billion dollars to Iran in comming days, but 19 more billions are following soon... ! Iran is therefore becoming the strongest military Russian asset in the region.

Yes,
It’s like cancer.
And now Russia is on the verge of infecting the world with the PLAGUE !!
They mismanaged their weaponized bio-research... and it fires back against them... but just like COVID... this could end up all over the planet.
The Kremlin is a pure absolute demonic institution.
…and China. And 57 of mad mo’s countries.
i wonder how much SecStreas Bessent’s debanking efforts will impeded said transfers and/or impeded any subsequent expenditures?
Imagine what the past 80 years would have been like had Eisenhower listened to Patton and taken out the Soviet Army while we still had the men, arms, and momentum in Germany.
The axis of evil helping each other.
This should put an end to the notion by some Freepers that Russia is a bastion of western civilization.
Not saying it’s easy and no one wants to hear it but the only good result in that region is for that regime to actually go away. Any deal with them is going to result in them rearming and causing trouble throughout the region and world and seeking revenge on the United states. That is just reality.
We have plenty of potash that we won't develop because of "environmental" and infrastructure roadblocks. So what price do we have to pay in foreign policy because the leftist death cult won't allow resource extraction in the US?
There is not a lick of difference between the nutjob left and right. They both blame US for everything. So, you see here Russia, our natural ally, is forced to loan money to Death to America Iran because of something something US policy.
That's one resource I'd "save for later" unless much more is discovered. Really, there is such a thing as a rainy day and potassium is essential to food production.
It would have been more intelligent to prevent the war from ever starting. Because our leader was not the man they thought they had elected
But sadly, many of you failed to listen to common sense, and instead rushed in to put the clear underdog in a position of becoming a worthless exercise. If anything starts a world war, that was the true catalyst to make that become a reality.
Because Russia was not the problem at that time. China, and to a lesser degree. Iran were the worst actors in the world at that time. Our actions only pushed Russia into their sphere, instead of bringing Russia into our sphere of influence.
All they were asking for is no NATO membership for Ukraine, which was alread known that not all members would accept Ukraine into NATO, and for Ukraine to announce neutrality.
Again, common sense was kicked aside for the sake os kinetic warfare.
The only reason Trump went aftyer Iran, was because they provided a serious threat to the entire world. Russia really had no designs to take Europe, and they certainly didhave delusions about becoming the dominat geopolitical power.
But to this day, none of you who desired to save Ukraine, enabled them to make the unwise decision to take on the role of its participation in a proxy war. Still do not understand that your peosonal blunder was the wrong approach to have taken.
Basically, instead of recognizng that those of us who were against the start of this kinetic warfare were correct, you call us stupid names such as Putinist. waiting for the first fool to throw out the label yet again, because critical thinking will never become a part of your capabilities. That has become abundantly clear, that a fool never reverses course and therefore remains a fool for life.

Oh my…
In such a scenario Earth would be as close as it gets to paradise…
There would no communism… No Islamic terror… and Russia would have been an economic success - working hand in hand with the West.
The Kremlin Neo-Soviet uber-government people destroyed that dream.
Trump should tell valdimer that if one dollar is given to iran,we give long range missiles to keiv.

Indeed,
The only solution concerning Iran is “regime-change”.
But no “nation-building” though… (it rarely works).
We made Russia the boogie man with russia, russia, russia and demonized them as the enemy, endlessly accusing them of interfering in our elections, any hacking event, government and anything else that goes wrong. We have made Russia our enemy and now are offended that they act like our enemy? It did not have to be this way, and we are not the innocent victim.
Fanning the flames of Ezekiel 38-39.
But God will wipe out but an eighth of every country involved. Including them.
They ain’t seen flames like that yet and boy when ol Putie-Poot does….
Oh boy.
Not going to happen. What you will see are those you mention coming to Russia’s defense, blaming the US and everyone else for why Russia does what it does.
It’s kinda like the woman who kills her kids and blames hormones for making her do it or the rapist who blames his victim for wearing a sexy outfit that made him rape her.
It’s never their fault. They are the victims. Other people made them do the evil that they do.
