Russian Warships Dock in Iran for Training Exercises
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - Two Russian ships, the Volgodonsk and Makhachkala, docked in Iran's Anzali port near the Caspian Sea on Sunday and will hold "joint naval exercises during the three-day stay of the warships in Iran," according to a Persian-language report by Iran's Fars news agency. Russian and Iran have grown close in recent years, inking arms deals and other agreements aimed at strengthening Iran's nuclear program. Russia and Iran agreed earlier this year to begin construction on several new nuclear power plants. Russia has also agreed to sell Iran an advanced missile defense system.
