You know the Iranian revolution 1979 was engineered by the Soviets with Iranian leftists. Later Khamenei hijacked it from the leftists and killed them. Therefore, Russia doesn't trust the mullahs and their relationship is more of convenience. Russia is counting on the Iranian secular anti-west groups who are among the Iranian students and intellectual class. I believe the next Iranian secular government will not be so much pro-west but rather independent

You are correct about 1979 events.. I was there as a young engineer arrived from Canada working Shah military industries ..Khomeini indeed hijacked the revolution..

As I look at the young crowds on the streets today they wants modern life style of western society . Yes Russians will try to keep mullahs in power as long as they could but they have sensed the flood for a change is unavoidable... I agree that the next government will be more independent than shah but for this young generation Western pull is too strong to resist...and Iran will need lots of investment to catch up for the past 45 years especially in the oil/gas and mining sectors..China will be there also to compete.. all that is left is for Iranians to boot the mullahs in the trash can..lol

Iran will open up its economy and today's west do not have much money anyway for overseas investments except in the service sector like insurance, banking etc. China will become the biggest investor. Secular Iran probably will set new modern lifestyle standard for the West as majority in the west live pay check to pay check.
