Russia would do well to instigate a "false coup de tat" in Iran in conjunction with Iranian leadership, bringing in Russian troops to quell "demonstrations", and having a temporary change in leadership that would still be anti-West but more democratic albeit temporarily.
This would put the West in a dilema....do we accept the new democratic leadership in Tehran even thou they are still anti west or do we continue on with our campaign.
Iran is needed as a Southern Buffer for Russia.
It is also why Georgia will never be allowed into Nato by the Russians. They need that southern Buffer....even if it is "radiated"....

Russia doesn't have the logistical capability to occupy Iran (really we don't either, but since we won't be occupying Iran, I am not to concerned).
I also don't drink milk, because I don't like it....and rarely use it at all other then occasionally to wet cereal....but I am not exactly sure how these two topics tied together.....
The Soviet Union occupied eastern and half of central Europe for 45 years. They have the logistical capability they were a lot poorer than when this was going on. Don't believe the garbage you read about Russia. Their military is strong not as weak as some people here think. Russia, has been been involved in local region disputes right up to 2012 (Chechyna and Georgia) have hardened their troops. The fighting in Chechyna was extremely bitter and aggressive.edit on 6-7-2012 by P12SOLD because: (no reason given)

I can see this being a plausible scenario, Russia has a lot of money invested in Iran (nearly $100 billion) so don't think they are going to let it go easily. I could very well see Russia doing some sort of diplomatic take over of Iran. It would secure Iran under Russian interests, anyone whom attacked Iran would by default be declaring war on Russia. Kind of a reverse proxy state.

The LAST THING the U.S. want's to do is attack Iran. Iran's Nuclear Sites must be disassembled and the only thing protecting Iran's sites from being Bombed by Israel is the U.S. saying...NO!
A Russian Takeover might actually not be a worse case scenario...considering 92% of Iranians are demanding Free and Fair Democratic Elections. It would be a Quagmire for Russia. Split Infinity
