Velayati thanked the Russian president for his warm welcome to the visiting Iranian delegation and recent visit of the Secretary of Russian National Security Council Igor Ivanov to Tehran, who submitted his message to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and President Ahmadinejad.
Velayati pointed to his visit to Moscow as Iran's positive response to President Putin's favorable action.
The meeting still continues behind closed doors.
Velayati, who arrived in Moscow on Wednesday to confer with senior Russian officials on Iran's peaceful nuclear program, also met today with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ivanov.

I think what he really wants is the continuing Russian (and Chinese) support in the UN Security Council to oppose any sanctions and actions against Iran to ensure they are not developing the Atomic Bomb.
If Iran ever makes it to the point where they no longer need the Russian and Chinese veto power in the Security Council, Russia and China may find they have made a serious error.

Russia has and always will be a powerful ally to anyone who can enlist them as one. However most people double cross russia thinking russia isn't a threat, big mistake. Russia in the global world of politics is the ace in the air.
