Russia-Iran Foreign Relations

(this is from an artical titaled: Nuclear)
This artical talks about how Russia is teaming up with the UN security council against Iran's Nuclear program.

" Despite voting in favor of UNSC resolutions in 2006, 2007, and 2008, Russia blocked further punitive action against Iran in September 2008 - even after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) condemned the Islamic Republic’s lack of cooperation.[4] Russia also refused to participate in a P5+1[5] meeting in 2008 to discuss leveling additional sanctions against Iran.[6] Russia has publicly supported Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology and has helped supply the materials and expertise to build the Bushehr nuclear plant, which Iran has claimed it will complete in 2009. [7] "

Does Russia want Iran to have Nuclear power?
Why have they supported Iran in the past - but are now claiming to go against them?
