Russ is reportedly negotiating wid Iran to set up TWO MILBASES inside IRAN - one in eastern Iran/Azerbaijan, a second on an island in the Persian Gulf, as price for Rus admission into the SCO [CSTO?] and which undoubtedly is intended to protect Iran from Western attack.

#2 If the Iranians are stupid enough to let the Russians in, then they deserve the absolute rape of their country that will follow. The Russians have been lusting after the Persian Gulf since Ivan the Terrible's time and if they get in, it will take a massive war to get them out. The only reason that the Soviets left Iran after WWII was that the US was occupying the lower half of the country and Truman made it clear what the costs would be if the Red Army tried to stay.
