Russia Signals Continued Strategic Partnership with Iran Amid Doha Talks
🐻 MOSCOW — Medvedev speaks when Moscow wants Tehran to hear it, not Washington. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Medvedev's role is messaging, not policy — his statements signal what the Kremlin wants public, not what's decided.

For Doha, it hardens Iran's floor: a Russian backstop reduces urgency to concede on maritime control or nuclear access before the MoU expires.
