Diplomacy and Puti-Put?

What about this scenario: Would it be a surprise if Putin the pragmatist chose to throw a big wrench into the game by siding blatantly with Iran? The Russians have known since day one the only purpose of Iran’s Nuclear efforts was weapons, in one act he can take that program away, put Iran (and it’s resources) under Russian control (for their protection) and maybe give I’manutjob a small nuke to kill a lot of innocents (it’s the only thing his forces are really good at) or throw at the Israelis. Almost forgot, by an act like this he will have an even more effective stranglehold on the EU’s energy supplies (can anybody say “I surrender?”).
