Iran–Russia strategic economic partnership

Russia may produce Sukhoi Superjets in Iran




Russia says it is negotiating with Iran over the local production of its Sukhoi Superjets.
Russian officials say the country is negotiating with Iran over the local production of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ 100) airliner to replace the ageing Iranian fleet on regional routes.

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin says Moscow may deliver a large batch of SSJ 100 planes – described as the country’s most modern commercial jets – to Iran before 2020.

Rogozin told the Russian media that the batch could comprise about 100 planes.

The planes can be in part be localized by Iranian producers if Tehran makes the political decision to purchase ready-made aircraft, he told Rossiya 24 TV during a two-day trip to Iran.

"Last night, one of the largest Iranian airlines held negotiations with UAC on the possible delivery of ready planes within five years. Different digits have been mentioned and I can mention them too - approximately 100 planes," Rogozin added.

Iran has a shortage of modern aircraft due to the long running sanctions imposed by the West. Local airlines are looking for reliable regional jets to fly domestic routes. The SSJ 100 might be a match for Iran’s needs, with additional options to come along with the prospective deal, RT reported on its website.

"If Tehran agrees to purchase the Superjet, we will discuss partial localization of production in Iran," RT has quoted Rogozin as telling Russia’s TASS news agency.

Sukhoi Superjet 100 is Russia’s newest twin-engine regional passenger aircraft which began operating commercially in 2011. More than 60 aircraft are in service with airlines in Laos, Mexico, and Russia.

Last month, France-KLM's CityJet signed a deal with Sukhoi to purchase 15 SSJ 100 planes worth over $1 billion. Sukhoi has also sold three SSJ 100s to Thailand and one to Kazakhstan.

According to Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhundi, Iran will need to buy 400 long- and medium-haul jets and at least 100 planes for use in local airports at a cost of $50 billion.

It seems that both of them were very happy





Iran reliable ally for Russia




TEHRAN, Nov. 23 (MNA) – Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Leader of the Islamic Republic no power would impose its will on Syrian people and decide on their behalf on Syrian future political structure.
Leader’s official website report quoted Mr. Putin’s remarks in his meeting with Ayatollah Khamenei earlier on Monday, where Mr. Putin expressed gratitude for meeting with the Leader; “bilateral relations between Iran and Russia in diverse fields as aerospace and technologies has taken a rapid turn, and we are happy that Russia along with Islamic Republic of Iran, has played an active role in resolving regional and international crises,” he told the Leader.

Putin also praised the Islamic Republic as an independent and strong country with bright futures on the horizons; “Russia considers Iran as a reliable ally in the region and the world at large; we are committed to a general avoidance of betraying our partners and stabbing our friends coming out of the dark, and are committed to negotiation and diplomacy in solving any differences,” Mr. Putin said figuratively.

Putin described Iranian and Russian positions on Syria very close; “we both emphasize that crisis in Syria will be solved only if all Syrian groups of all ethnicities participate in elections and that world powers recognize this political means to bring stability to the country; we strongly believe that no country is in a positon to decide on behalf of Syrians on their future government,” he emphasized.

Putin emphasized upon the continuing nature of air strikes against terrorist strongholds in Syria and believed Tehran-Moscow sharing beliefs was necessary for a diplomatic solution; “countries with a claim to democracy could not oppose to elections in Syria,” he concluded.

Leader urges vigilance to thwart US plot for West Asia

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the long-term US plot for Western Asia is against the interests of all countries, particularly Iran and Russia, urging vigilance and close interaction to thwart the scheme.

In a meeting with visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Tehran on Monday, Ayatollah Khamenei said the US has a long-term plot to take control of the whole of West Asia by dominating Syria and then expanding its dominion over the entire region, saying, “This plot is a threat to all nations and countries, particularly Russia and Iran.”

The Leader hailed Russia’s influential role in regional issues, particularly in the Syrian conflict, and said Moscow’s decisions and measures in dealing with developments in Damascus enhanced the regional and international standing of Russia and President Putin in particular.

“The Americans have always been trying to place their rivals in a position of passivity but you have foiled such a policy,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

The US and its followers are seeking to achieve through political means and negotiations the objectives that they have failed to obtain via military approaches, the Leader said, adding vigilance and a proactive stance are necessary to prevent this goal from being realized.

Ayatollah Khamenei said Washington’s insistence on the ouster of Syria’s legitimate and democratically-elected President Bashar al-Assad is among the weaknesses of the US policies.

He said the Syrian president, in a national election, succeeded in winning the majority of votes of the Syrian people with “different political, religious and ethnic” viewpoints and emphasized that the US has no right to ignore the Syrians’ choice.

The Leader said every solution on the Syrian crisis should be endorsed by the country’s nation and officials.

Russia’s Putin donates a special gift to Ayatollah Khamenei




Visiting Russian president Vladimir Putin donated a special gift to Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a meeting held in Tehran on Monday, Iranian local media reported.

Putin, who is in Tehran to attend the summit meeting of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), gave one of the world’s oldest Quran manuscripts to Ayatollah Khamenei, another sign showing the strengthening relations between the two countries.

Russian President met with Iran’s Supreme Leader as part of his visit to Tehran to attend the third meeting of fuel-exporting countries.



He is also set to meet Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani.

Vladimir Putin became the first Russian leader to visit Iran since World War II when he held talks with Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2007.

The third meeting of fuel-exporting countries was opened in Tehran on November 23 by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, and prior to the meeting of the heads of the member countries, their ministers of oil and energy will meet beginning November 20.

Putin’s pivot to Iran is a strategic decision



http://atimes.com/2015/11/putins-pivot-to-iran-is-a-strategic-decision/

I've got some questions for our valuable Iranian forum member.

What are opinion of average Iranians about Russia now, especially concerning war in Syria and closing relationship with Russia ? Is it positive or only neutral and want closer relationship with US ?

Also i'd like to know if it is possible to establish Russian airbase there to protect Iran from not so friendly turko-shemite neighbours and YKW from bombing  nucl. power installations  and also to aid operation of eliminating rats from Syria.

‌it's mostly positive and they certainly want a closer "strategic" relation between two countries  . that's for sure

A few hours ago I was searching the iranian news sites and I was shocked to see the level of anger against turkey and also the  huge number of condulenses by Iranians  to russian people  

After the Putin's visit to Iran , and specialy after the Russia's massive military campaign against the western backed gangs , the iranian are looking to  Russia as a powerful ally , The rising Bear



And this positive thinking is  going to grow more and more , just wait and see what will happen after Russia sell one of those lovley s_300 and su_35 to iran

Also there are some aristocrat liberal rich Iranians who wants to make Iran a US pupet . much like it was before revolution....

About the military base , I don't thing so .
Because it's against the constitution of IR
But you know , Everything in life has its price.

I think Russian bet on Iran was long overdue. I saw that too, Iranians sites even "liberal" completely shocked and appalled.
I totally understand Iran's logic behind the foreign base, but I also know that Iran has no issue having Russians operating with Iranian permission from Iran.

Many thanks for your answer ,and you know what they say the more rich you are the less spine you have

Concerning military base i think it's pretty urgent, but i never thought that IR constitution actually forbade it.
It's understandable when we think about not so recent history.

But maybe the solution would be temporary stationing of russian manned aircrafts mixed with iranian ones under joint command in existing airbase on the west like Hamadan or Tebriz( really close to Russia so they could be restationed back to Russia quickly) or something so this would not violate IR law at all.

I suspect what they will eventual have is joint-operational bases where the Russian military will be based, but will also acts as training camps for the Iranian military (and militias allied with Iran) to be trained in various forms of advanced warfare, such as military bases for advanced ground warfare tactics near the Iraqi border, all the way to a major multi-faceted military base that deals with SAM batteries and tactics, to AshM batteries and tactics which would be located near the straight of Hormuz.

The US appears to be doing thew best it can to drive Iran firmly into the Russia / China side. It has just imposed sanctions on Iran for the ballistic missile program, within hours of the other sanctions being lifted. Now we know the purpose of the delayed hoo-hah over the missile launch away from all vessels that took place 26 Dec and was only reported 9 Janary or so.

The US Department of the Treasury says it has imposed new sanctions on Iran for its ballistic missile program.

The Treasury Department made the announcement in a statement issued on Sunday, only a day after sanctions targeting Iran’s nuclear energy program were lifted.

The statement said five Iranian citizens and a network of companies based in the United Arab Emirates and China were added to a US blacklist.

Congratulations to the IRI for their successful deal on the Nuclear Program.

I hope to be in Tehran by May,I'll post pictures.

Khosh Amadid back guys.

Not even close to the old sanctions when it comes to this.

I simply can't understand why most of the time the Russians are so stupid with business/deals.

Iran sanctions have been lifted and we are hearing news of Iran planning to but over 100 airbus commercial aircrafts. WTF is the Russians doing.....why are the dumbos not having a strong promotion for selling Tu-204 family to Iran. It would be a real boost for Tupolev and Russian commercial aircraft industry (other than the selfish Sukhoi/Irkut gangs) as well as a first large sales for a well deserving aircraft that unfortunately had its birth at the start of a crippling crisis.

I think it not that the Russians are not trying but its that Iran wants to buy from the EU because Iran wants to get into oil deals and business deals with the EU, Iran knows that the Zionists have too much influence in US, so they won't get much there but they can get more from the EU, so look for Iran to sign more contracts with EU countries, they are trying to cut the Saudis out of the EU, Iran also passed on Boeing(American company), we just have to wait and see what comes out this nuclear deal with Iran.
