I repeat once again Iran is not a player but a disposable pawn in this game. Russia has less love with mullas than everyone in US administration. De-facto they are willing to destroy Iran with American hands. Their so-called “pro-Iran” policy is nothing but luring a mental patient to commit a suicide by police where Iran is standing for a crazed nut in a shoping mall given a big gun and US for a cop who has to solve a problem.
Kaliningrad enclave is Russian territory. They don’t have to lease it from anybody.
Realistically it’s no more Russian territory than are the Baltics or the area from Vilnius to Lvov stolen from Poland.
That said, I was thinking of Tallinn and confusing it with Kaliningrad the city/port. Not Kaliningrad the oblast as a whole.
