About the Book

Cooperation between Iran and Russia has expanded to unprecedented levels. Following the Russian offensive in Ukraine, their partnership has undergone a significant transformation, altering power dynamics and elevating Iran from a junior partner to an equal counterpart. Russia's dependence on Iran in unexpected areas has caught observers by surprise. In her book, Ghoncheh Tazmini presents a fresh analysis of the complex relationship between Russia and Iran. She argues for a Russia-Iran 'alignment' based on their shared narratives of the international order. The two states are bound by connective tissue that is coded by ontological security preoccupations and mutual threat perceptions. Despite historical animosities and ongoing suspicions, the relationship has demonstrated resilience, fluctuating between conflict and convergence. The Iran-Russia relationship holds decisive implications for the Middle East's future, where their interests both overlap and diverge, notably in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and with the GCC. Tazmini delves into Russian and Iranian geopolitical aspirations in the Middle Eastern theatre and addresses how evolving international realities impact their regional policies. Through a blend of sophisticated theoretical analysis and empirical insights, Tazmini explains why Moscow-Tehran relations are more durable than many in the Western world and the Middle East may perceive. Russia and Iran's close alignment is expected to persist – undeterred by criticism and sanctions, the 'Power Couple' remains determined to establish a foothold in the international system through their collaborative efforts.

About the Author :
Ghoncheh Tazmini recently completed her term as Visiting Fellow at the Middle East Centre at the London School of Economics, UK. Educated at the University of British Columbia, the LSE and the University of Kent, she holds a PhD in international relations. She is the author of Khatami's Iran (2007, 2009), and Revolution and Reform in Russia and Iran (2012).

Review :
A subtle and sophisticated exploration of one of the more apparently mismatched alignments of our era, presaging an epochal shift in the structure of international politics. The material and structural aspects of the Russo-Iranian relationship are examined, but Tazmini also creatively explores the ideational and civilisational factors that contribute to the perception of ontological security of this odd couple. A brilliant and perceptive analysis. Essential reading. Ghoncheh Tazmini's Power Couple is essential for obtaining an accurate understanding of the complex Russian-Iranian relationship-especially as it has evolved since the outset of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
