Russia discusses delay in missile delivery to Iran

None

Russia's foreign minister has hinted that the delay in delivering air-defense missiles to Iran is connected with concerns about regional tensions.

 

Russia signed a contract in 2007 to sell S-300 missiles to Iran, a move that would substantially boost the country's defense capacities. Israel fears the sale would tip the regional power balance. Russian officials say none of the missiles have been delivered, but have been evasive about the reason. (AP)
