When Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told foreign ambassadors last month that Iran was moving closer to the potential to create nuclear weapons, some political analysts argued that Russia had recently been demonstrating a clear U-turn in its position toward Iran. While Russia's recent behavior indicates further evidence to back up this view, since then policymakers have confronted this crucial question: Is the honeymoon really over between Russia and Iran?

My question is what did the U.S do to make Russia turn on Iran?

I thought the Russians could think for themselves and would never bow to the US (according to everyone on ATS). Hmmmm.

Just because they think for themselves doesn't mean the U.S cannot bribe them in some way. It could honestly be anything, and I'm also sure that Russia wouldn't want to defend Iran in a scenario that could provoke world war 3 if Russia gets involved.

Nah...Russia is too big and bad to take bribes. Plus their gov't is way too ethical to do such a thing. They would tell the US to go screw themselves. They love Iran.
