VOA - Analysts Say Iran-Russia Relations Worsening
The Voice of America reports: "Russia has voted for tougher U.N. sanctions on Iran and has frozen a deal to send anti-aircraft missiles to that country [...] many experts [...] say relations between Russia and Iran have been worsening."

Comment: This is an interesting report, it demonstrates that the formation of the Gog Alliance is only in the earliest of stages. Russia and Iran are not allies so much as trade partners, and as this report notes, the level of trade is not so great that it overcomes security concerns about the Iranian nuclear program.
