            Russia successfully got a special permission to bombard Syria from Iran’s airbase which has never been used by any foreign countries since World War II. However, a week after that important event in Russia’s history, Iran revoked the deal. The main problem was that Russia disclosed the agreement. 

            Iran felt that Russia had betrayed its trust by making their agreement public. Many experts also thought that the action done by Russia indicated it showed its power and influence over middle-east countries. Furthermore, Russia did not consider its action based on Iran’s sensitiveness as Russia had taken over Iran’s leading role against Syria. Despite Russia mistake, this problem as well happened because of Iran’s lack of communication. 

            In my opinion, the agreement between Iran and Russian is supposed to be a good opportunity to fight bad influences in the world. However, this incident has become a new problem simply because of each country’s ego. For creating a better world, all countries have to reduce their importance and unite their perspectives about the world.
