If stopping Iran sanctions is commercial, it is a serious miscalculation of the situation. Which is hard to believe, since Brazil is widely known to have one of the best diplomatic and foreign policy groups on the planet. There isn't any non-aligned movement any more. Just a few rogue states (North Korea, Iran, Syria, Zimbabwe, Burma), places caught in a time warp (Cuba, Nicaragua maybe), some nasty separatist movements - (Chechna, Uighurs, Basques, Zapatista) and a few failed states like Somalia and some West African nations. Venezuela is in transition towards Zimbabwe, it will just take a long time. Everybody else just buys and sells. Now Russia wants to get in the WTO. About 15 years after China. ;-) Brazil siding with Iran won't lead to a multi-polar world, it just makes it harder for the responsible groups - EU, US, Russia, and China - to rein in Iran.
