I think they'll sell them more weapons, I don't see any indication to suggest that they won't, but Russia's imperative will solely be to bolster Iran's defensive and deterrence capabilities (including through the possible export of some offensive weaponry like fighter jets), not to give Iran an edge in any hypothetical first strike against Israel.

G'day Andrew, the trade angle of this agreement seem very positive and beneficial for both parties but if Iran's economy perishes and regime change takes place from attacks by Isreal or the US through lack of obvious deterents then how could the pipeline or benefits be obtained. An inferred military pact as in Article 5 NATO could not hurt.

Maybe so, but I'm going by passed history and all the unfilled contracts and questionable " delays". We shall obviously see though.
