Kremlin: Putin to Visit Iran November 23
Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Iran later this month, the Kremlin said Friday, as the two countries back Bashar Assad in Syria and Moscow looks to step up business ties after the deal over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Putin -- who last visited Iran in 2007 -- will head to Tehran for a forum of gas-exporting countries on November 23 and is expected to hold talks with the Iranian leadership, the Kremlin's top foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said.
