While Russia has condemned Washington for its withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, Moscow remains less exposed to the economic consequences of US sanctions than Europe and its companies could even benefit from the move.
"The deal and the lifting of sanctions in 2015 marked the return of European business to Iran. But it's unlikely they can keep doing business today, giving room to Russia," said independent political scientist Vladimir Sotnikov.
"Russia can now go ahead at full speed," he added.
Russia and Iran once had difficult relations, but have seen ties improve since the end of the Cold War.

All part of the Orange Clown’s master plan.
Of all the horrendous and/or stupid actions this pretend administration has taken, this is the worst and the most destructive and most tragic of all.
Even though it was anticipated that the Orange One would go ahead and make this foolish and dangerous move,I have been a basket case since the moment of the announcement. To make such an obviously WRONG decision with global consequences for such petty, personal reasons - it's been more than I can bear. Thanks, pseudo-president, for the last 3 nights of insomnia.
I am not only angry beyond words; I am heartbroken for my country.
