I suppose the only advantage would be if they were both willing to bury the hatchet for the sake of global domination. There's so much oil to fight over and even more hate to go around in that part of the globe. Who knows. One never really knows down the road.================================================Iran is hardly after "world domination". Their main goal is to perhaps be a tad better off than Turkey. Shia Muslims are realistic enough to know that they will never be dominant in the Muslim world. The Russians have a long way to go to achieve domination. Oil alone won't do it.I suppose in some distant future any two countries might form an alliance. Russians are either atheist or Orthodox, and neither are fond of Shiites or any other Muslims at present.

Iran and Russia have already aligned. Notice who is helping to build their nuclear plants.
Iran and Russia have already aligned. Notice who is helping to build their nuclear plants. Isn't that like saying that every country that Brown & Root builds bridges for is an ally of the US?This isn't a military or political alliance.
