After the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran (in which the latter threatened to destroy an American military base in Bahrain, and even to launch missiles to Tel Aviv in case of American aggression) Trump defined Iran as "the number one terrorist state".
At this point, Moscow (one of Teheran's most important military partners) challenged Trump's claim, with Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, saying that Iran has never been proven having ties with terrorist groups like Al Nusra and, instead, should participate in the fight against terrorism.
In the meantime, Russia, Iran and Turkey started Astana's cooperation in order to target the situation in Syria.
On a side note, terrorist groups like Isis often display as much hatred towards Iran as they do against the West, probably due to their Sunni-Shia differences.
