Summary/Abstract: Iran-Russia Relations always have been impressed by international factors, as such relations have been influenced either by structure of international system or by powerful operators and superpowers who have acted as other wings of Tehran-Moscow relations. USA can be observed clearly as the bigwig of this scene in both previous terms and contemporary era. Hence, consideration of cooperation pivots and fields between both parties and international factors which play active and of course destructive roles in these relations is imperative during analysis of Iran-Russia relations in the new international space in aftermath of 09/11. Accordingly, the effective set of factors on Iran-Russia relations indicates that Iran and Russia not only can be good partners, but also they can become potential rivals. In other words, "Iran-Russia relations in the new international space enjoy both convergence and divergence indicators, so if the cooperation pivots of parties are intensified in a good manner, then convergence perspectives may be emerged."
