...most analysts agree, Saberi and another Iranian-American arrested last year, Esha Momeni, are to be used as leverage in any future U.S.-Iran negotiations, possibly to demand the release of two Iranian nationals taken by U.S. forces in Irbil in 2007. Alternatively, Saberi may be a victim of Iran??s judiciary hardliner’s backlash against the clear signals of an increasingly positive attitude toward a US-Iran rapprochement among various power factions in Tehran...

In 2000, then-President Putin abrogated the 1995 Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement and renewed arms dealings between Russia and Iran. Since then, Putin has signed a $1 billion arms deal with Iran and supported Iran??s nuclear ambitions. During Putin’s 2007 visit to Tehran, the first trip to the Iranian capital by a Kremlin leader since Joseph Stalin’s visit in 1943, Putin and Iranian President Ahmadinejad discussed Iran??s nuclear energy program...
