Russia: Government to Sell Anti-Aircraft Weapons to Iran
Putin has made his choice; he considers diminishing American power his number one priority in the international arena. Those missiles will be used to protect Iran's nuclear sites; this will indeed diminish American power. But if Iran gets the bomb, at the end of the day, it will be Russia with a nuclear-armed Islamic nuthouse on its border: Russia to Sell Anti-Aircraft Missiles to Iran
Russian defense minister Sergei Ivanov Friday reiterated Moscow's commitment to supply Iran with sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles, Interfax news agency reported."If there are no extraordinary circumstances, it (the contract) will without doubt be fulfilled," Ivanov was quoted as saying.
Defense Ministry officials have previously said Moscow would supply 29 sophisticated Tor-M1 air defense missile systems to Iran under a 546.5m contract, according to Russian media reports.
