As you can see both Iran and Russia have been on this nuclear talks for a long time and we finnaly found a solution that would probably kick the U.N out or IAEA since they have been there for the past 3 years. We both would enrich uranium and sell them through a 50-50 commercial joint venture, South Africa is also going to participate. Although we wont get the technology from Russia to enrichment but we will get the know how.

The claim that Russia will defend Iran, which brings in China to defend Russia & Iran is made because Russia will be defending it's nuclear export to Iran, if it's bombed, then Russia not only lose big trade agreements but if they publically don't support Iran, they will be labelled as a western supporting nation in the eyes of Islamic resistance.
They will face the same hatred the US are facing now after their involvement in the 80's. China needs Iran to be nuclear as much as Russia so Iran can free up it's oil and gas exports rather than relying on them. China and Iran have gas deals in the pipeline.

LMAO, I don't think even Tom Clancy would come up with such a hair brained story line.
Why would Russia defend Iran ? They don't really like muslims in Russia, just look at Chechnya. Russia would be more than happy to take Iranian money and then see the reactor bombed. It'll save them from having to do somehintg about it
As for contracts, come on. Iranian contyracts make up only a tiny portion of Russia's GDP, LOL.
