Iran Borrows From Russia To Get Back At United States



Iran will get help from any other nation that is out to needle the US




Iran has purposefully moved towards a resistance budget to get back at the United States. 

Prime Minister Hassan Rouhani has informed the parliament that it has sort help from Russia that is now offering Tehran a loan of $billion to revive its strained economy. 

With the new budget, Iran has come up with a strategy that will depend less on oil revenues and more on other things, that are not affected by America’s ‘crippling embargoes’. Undeniably,Tehran is facing an economic crisis.
With the equation with Untied States going from sour to bitter, Iran has been in desperate needs of funds to revive its economy.  Also, it is in pressure to reduce the prices of its escalating gasoline prices, due to severe sanctions slapped on it.

Speaking to the Parliament, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said,“Next year, similar to the current year, our budget is a budget of resistance and perseverance against sanctions. This budget sends a message to the world that despite sanctions we will manage the country, especially in terms of oil.”

Russiahas shown quite a lot of support to Iran at a time when rest of the EU nations were trying to get Iran and the US on the same page to end the cold war over the 2015 Nuclear Agreement.

Russia is fast becoming a silent super power that is lending helping hands wherever the Middle Eastern strong nations and the US do not see eye-to-eye. This includes Iran, Turkey, Syria, Iraq to name a few nations in conflict.
Russia has continued with the re-configuring of Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear facility that it had started in 2017. TVEL, a unit of Russian state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom was pursuing the project for civilian medical research but had been stalled after the US withdrew from the 2015 Nuclear Deal.
In its own way, Moscow has shown solidarity with Iran. Speaking over this, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi had said, “We are sure that the Russians will not abandon their projects in Iran in the wake of the US’ [new] sanctions, because they are currently involved in the construction of Bushehr-2 and -3 power plants.”

Political analysts believe, Russia might not want to be caught in the offensive between the US and Iran and therefore might be playing favourites here. It has its own vested interests of power elsewhere and does not mind buying a favour for the loan it has offered to Iran. It is worth noting that neither the European Union nor the NATO alliances favour the existence of Russia and consider it a threat to their respective sovereignties, an insecurity that Iran also brings along.
