Putin to meet Ayatollah Khamenei during Iran visit: Kremlin
Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a visit to Tehran Monday, the Kremlin said, as Moscow goes on a diplomatic push over the Syria conflict.

Talks with Iran's leadership will focus on "issues in bilateral relations, including atomic energy, oil and gas and military-technical cooperation", Putin's top foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said Friday, with the Russian president also set to meet his counterpart Hassan Rouhani.

After the visit to Tehran -- Putin's first there since 2007 -- the Russian leader will host Jordanian King Abdullah II on Tuesday and French leader Francois Hollande on Thursday in Russia.

This is how you do diplomacy - you don't send some buffoon in a suit. A bit more:

"Ahead of the visit to Moscow the French president will visit Washington. We see this as a continuation of attempts to form the widest possible anti-terror coalition," Ushakov told journalists.

The Kremlin also confirmed that Putin will take part in a key climate conference in Paris on November 30 and will meet Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu for talks on the sidelines of the event.

Hollande's visit is Putin's idea - not Obama's. Putin being at the climate conference will allow him to drag the West down a notch or two - you are burning to much fossil fuels. Plus, some deals with Bibi (after Barry is gone, I'll have some more flexibility).
