Their meeting will be important, but not in the way that some have convinced themselves it will be with regard to imagining that Russia will promise to support Iran if it enters into a full-scale hot war with Israel.
IMHO, in the short term, Russian S-400 is probably the most critical. But even S-300 can be helpful if coupled with additional radars. In the longer term, I suspect the Zangezur Corridor is the most important issue. My guess is Iran will complain but compromise, especially if Iran gets S-400 delivered in time. The issue is Russia also needs them to deal with the coming EU/NATO cruise missile attack. If that is indeed the case, I hope Mr.Putin can offer S-400 to Iran.
Given that Isrywill likely use their F35s, it would be in Russias interest to get some practical experience defeating these. Probably a lot of Russian AA and EW experts going to Iran right now.
Don’t you think they might want to talk about that alliance of resistance states which seems to be under discussion in the Iranian parliament? If that happened—Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen—wouldn’t it change the Middle East layout completely? I saw a map of that project and found the Saudis … quite isolated, no chance for hegemony.
Russia is in a no-win. Either get stuck in another war, this time against a much more powerful enemy, or sit back and watch the Empire destroy Russia's allies, one by one.
If you insist on being pedantic, see, e.g., starting with weapons in general, then intelligence, ex-Soviet equipment, ex-Soviet aircraft, cluster munitions (a 'war crime' when Russia does it!) armored vehicles but not tanks, then tanks ("Release The Leopards!"), F-16, long-range missiles, etc..

We've been hearing that one for years now, yet the Empire continues to escalate.
We've been hearing the confident proclamations of victory at hand for years now as well.
