Russia backs down about Iranian sanctions.

Article!

So, it seems that what we talked about last weekend came to fruition. The Russians made an unofficial statement that they were ready to examine Iran and punitive measures. This isn't a diplomatic commitment, but it is a "we are on the same page and willing to move forward with this". Technically, they said that sanctions are sometimes inevitable and that if incentives don't work, the Russians may need to adopt tougher measures. Looks like Obama's gesture wasn't in vain.
