Abstract
The foreign policy of any country concerning the developments of other countries, both regional and global, is based on national interests. Each country, however, defines its national interests based on temporal and spatial requirements. At the beginning of the third millennium, Russia has defined its national interests to confront the West, reproduce Russia's power in the world, influence in various global and regional regions, and so on. The central question and purpose of this study is Russia's approach to Iran's nuclear program. In the analysis of this question, the influential components of Russia's foreign policy, especially in the nuclear issue in the last two decades, such as Putin's personality, confrontation with Americanism in the world, preventing the nuclearization of southern Russia, etc. have been mentioned. On the other hand, in the context of neo-realism, elements such as the anarchy of the international system, the need for multilateralism at the international level, new security in the region and global action with the crisis of other countries have been considered.
