How does "Putin's mind" see the Moscow-Tehran axis?

The Russian thinker Alexander Dugin was famous as the theorist of restoring the Russian empire, and for being close to Putin. Some even describe him as Putin's inspiration and “strategic mind.” Perhaps what interests the Arab reader is to know how Putin's political ideology views the Middle East? How do you see its alliance with Tehran?

Dugin talks in his book “Russia’s Geopolitical Future” about several issues related to re-invigorating the Russian Empire, as he considers that the only way to restore the social and political development of his country is not the Russian state, but the Russian Empire through the “geopolitical revolution.” It makes no sense, except that they are the Russian "parties", even though they are the center of the East Slavs, with regard to alliances beneficial to Russia, and they play a role in strengthening its imperial ambitions. He mentions several alliances, the most important of which are the axis with Germany (Moscow Berlin) and the axis (Moscow, Tehran), and sees that Central Europe is a weak region of homogeneity, and it can leave a severe impact on the south of the continent - Italy and Spain.

When talking about the Moscow-Tehran axis, Dugin first sees that the Arab and Islamic world is scattered among several currents, the same vision mentioned by former US President Nixon in his book “The Opportunity Moment”, because of which he ruled out the emergence of a political force that unites this conflicting and inconsistent world in A specific political project, and Dugin explains this by saying that the major countries of the Islamic world suffer from dispersal in several directions, the Iranian fundamentalist trend, the Turkish secular trend, the Arabist trend, and Syria, formerly Iraq and Sudan - and to some extent - Egypt and Saudi Arabia, call for it, according to the author, So does the Saudi Wahhabi fundamentalist current. Finally, there are different forms and formulas for Islamic socialism, and models close to Arabism in its leftist concept. Doji does not rely on the second and fourth currents and focuses on two currents: “Iranian fundamentalism” and “Arabism in its leftist form,” and because of the common hostility to Russia and the world. The Islamic Republic of NATO sees this as an opportunity represented in cooperation withThe Tehran axis, considering that Moscow has achieved valuable gains from the alliance with Tehran, the most important of which is the arrival of Russia’s influence to the warm seas, which it has been seeking for centuries. And across the Indian Ocean, or through the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, or even Gibraltar, those areas that remained for a long time under Western control, and perhaps the other reason, which makes Dugin see the alliance with Tehran more valuable than the rapprochement with Saudi Arabia is, the former Soviet republics in Central Asia, which the Saudis cannot meet, nor can the Arab current promote it, because the peoples of Central Asia are Turkish in language.Dugin returns to reinforce the idea of ​​an alliance with the pro-Iranian orientation, which can alleviate the contradiction between acceptance of Russia and Islamic religious conviction, and make them a single geopolitical orientation towards Moscow and towards Iran at the same time, and thus “Iranian support can help Russia solve its geopolitical problems with the countries of Asia It can also establish that strategically homogeneous Islamic formation, ethnically and culturally diverse, and linked to the empire,” according to Dugin, who did not shed much light on his ideas on this axis, “Moscow Tehran” in particular.

Dugin considers that the only way to restore the social and political development of his country is not the Russian state, but the Russian Empire by means of a “geopolitical revolution.”
