Russia's strongman Vladimir Putin has been overseeing the daily airstrikes in Syria from a colossal three-floor war room in Moscow.

Long rows of identical desks and computer terminals are crammed into the enormous space, filling up three floors with analysts monitoring activities in the conflict zone.

Sitting at a desk on the central level of the first floor, the Russian President can be seen observing every detail. Putin is surrounded by his trusted military advisers, who have been working hard to shore up the Assad regime in Syria.

Strategically positioned the off-green coloured panel walls, several large television monitors can be seen providing the latest updates to the action in the ongoing conflict.

Russia has stepped up air strikes against Islamist militants in Syria with long-range bombers and cruise missiles after the Kremlin said it wanted retribution for those responsible for blowing up a Russian airliner over Egypt.

Russia began a large-scale bombing campaign against targets in Syria on September 30, in which Moscow says is focused on Islamic State militants.

 

However critics say the air strikes have only targeted a wider band of opponents of Moscow's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The focus on Islamic State has intensified since a Russian airliner was brought down by a bomb over Egypt's Sinai peninsula with the loss of over 200 lives. 

The group says it planted the bomb as a response to actions by the Russian Air Force and predicted more attacks on Russia.

The jihadi group published a photograph of a soft drinks can and an apparent detonator in their propaganda magazine Dabiq, claiming the object was used as an explosive device to bring down the plane.

Russia's president Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the Russian Air Force operation in Syria at the National Defence Control Center

Russia and Iran have grown closer together in diplomatic relations as both nations continue to back the Assad regime in the Syrian war

President Vladimir Putin has eased restrictions on Russian companies working on Iranian enrichment sites as he travelled to Tehran for his first visit since 2007.

In a decree signed today, Putin enabled Russian firms to help modify centrifuges at the Fordo enrichment site and help Tehran redesign its Arak heavy water reactor.

Russian companies can now also carry out activities linked to Iranian exports of enriched uranium of more than 300 kilograms in exchange for the supplies of natural uranium to Iran, the Kremlin decree said.

Under a historic July deal with world powers, Iran agreed to dramatically scale back its nuclear programme, making it much more difficult for it to develop nuclear weapons.

A Kremlin spokesman said Russia and Iran have 'unity of views' on Syria, a spokesman for the Kremlin said Monday after President Vladimir Putin held talks in Tehran with supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Describing the meeting as 'quite constructive', the spokesman said Iran and Russia were against 'external attempts to dictate scenarios of political settlement in Syria' and any change in leadership should come through elections.

Tehran agreed to slash by two-thirds the number of centrifuges, machines that can 'enrich' or purify uranium to make it suitable for peaceful uses but also for a nuclear weapon.

Russian companies are eyeing business opportunities after sanctions on Iran are lifted, expected in the next two months, as the nuclear deal reaches its 'implementation' stage.

Putin arrived in Tehran today for talks with supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, with the Syrian conflict expected to be high on the agenda.

The one-day visit will also see Putin take part in a summit of gas exporting countries.
