Russia-Iran Relations: Agreements and Disagreements

September 18, 2019 • 9:00 – 10:30 am EDT

Strategic Partners in Need?

At the June 2019 Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, when the Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, he remarked that the relations between the two countries were “multifaceted” and “multilateral.” The two countries have continued developing their ties despite tightened sanctions. What are the main economic and political drivers of Russia-Iran cooperation? Are there any irreconcilable differences between the two and where does Iran fit in U.S.-Russia relations? 

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
