All Roads Pass Through Moscow - by Jonathan S. Kallmer
Russia does not rank among the top interests of the U.S. foreign policy agenda. However, as Jonathan Kallmer argues, in lieu of focusing just on the escalating energy debate — and Russia's inclination to use energy as a political tool — it might be high time that the U.S. foreign policy agenda gets reexamined.
Whether or not its diplomatic efforts succeed, there is no question that Russia has influence with Iran. Beyond its veto power on the Security Council, Russia has substantial commercial interests there, as well as a degree of moral authority. Its cooperation will be indispensable if there is to be effective international action against Iran.
