Vladimir Putins full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has cast a spotlight on Russias burgeoning partnership with Iran. Moscow looked to Tehran for drones and ammunition to fuel its so-called special military operation, and Irans support for Russias war reflected a decade-long strengthening of Russo-Iranian ties, beginning with the 2011 outbreak of the Syrian Civil War.



 



Despite a relationship historically marred by mistrust and unmet expectations, the two regimes have worked together to promote their common interests in Syria, where battlefield coordination soon developed into much deeper political alignment. Drawing on extensive Russian and Persian primary sources, and interviews with elites from both countries, Nicole Grajewski uncovers the drivers of ever-closer cooperation between the Kremlin and the Islamic Republic. Detailing the internal structures, shared anxieties and broader ambitions underpinning this alignment, she explores the genesis of Russia and Iran's mutual antagonism towards the Western-led global order; the impact of deep-seated leadership concerns over regime security and domestic protests; and the future trajectory of the partnership within the larger world order.



 



Examining both military dynamics and economic endeavours, as well as elaborate sanctions evasion schemes and collaboration within international organisations, this is the definitive account of contemporary Russia-Iran relations.

Grajewski brilliantly dissects the history and anti-Western imperative of the partnership of defiance between Russia and Iran. Meticulous research enriches this unique and incredibly timely exposition of how historical grievances were overcome by the confluence of interests. A major contribution to international affairs and the study of illiberal regimes. -- Laura Kennedy, former US ambassador to Turkmenistan and former acting governor to the International Atomic Energy Agency A deeply insightful and fascinating account charting the Russian partnership with Iran, its history and its role in shaping geopolitical developments in the Middle East, and beyond. -- Michael Kofman, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace A thorough analysis of the evolution of the RussiaIran partnership. Underpinned by historical context and detailed examination of recent geopolitical events, it provides a fresh understanding of this relationship. Compelling and well supported by evidence, Grajewskis arguments go beyond a mere descriptive account to critically assess the broader consequences of these ties. -- Hamidreza Azizi, Visiting Fellow, German Institute for International and Security Affairs A very important book. Grajewskis ability to work with both Russian and Farsi sources is especially impressive, and gives Russia and Iran greater authority than books written by other authors. -- Mark N. Katz, Professor Emeritus of Government and Politics, George Mason University
