Is it worth it to the Russians to arm their oil competitors and friends of their enemies? A nuclear armed Iran is a far greater threat to the US (and Israel) than to Russia. Iran is among the most strident advocates for limiting OPEC oil production and keeping prices high -- which is again in Russia's interest. Chechnya is strategically insignificant to Russia -- Russia will probably disengage soon enough, as soon as it can secure "peace with honor". Finally, the Iranians are paying hard cash.
