Thats certainly one way of looking at it...yet another way is to ask why not?!
Why wouldn't they I mean America and Britain are world's chief retailers of arms...they have sold weapons to Russia's enemies (Chechen rebels had some and Afghanistan earlier)...Iran poses no threat to Russia and its even beneficial to them to have instability in the middle east because that means that Europe gets oil from Russia hence the new pipeline being built.
It also has a long going hate/dislike toward Israel (people forget that Putin was a KGB officer he thinks like one...and essentially not much has changed since he was one)...as you probably know or not it was also him who sold weapons to Lebanon (Katusha although from WW2 still effective) the use which caused an Israely retaliation with the use of cluster bombs.
As for marching through Russia THAT will NEVER happan...I'am sure of that much!
If you do a little bit of digging you will find out some moves that Putin has made (sold high tech anti aircraft missiles which have anti stealth capabilities to Iran) and is yet trying to make (buy in majority stock control in a company which has been chief supplier to the US military for anti aircraft, radar and general navigation equipment)-he might have actually done this already as my sources are about a month or so old...
Thats why man made the Internet...
