Report: UN sanctions bind Russia on Iran missiles
None
Russia's Interfax news agency cites a top military official as saying the UN's latest Iran sanctions, which Moscow has backed, rule out the delivery of missile systems.
Russia has yet to fulfill a 2007 contract with Iran over the delivery of the sophisticated S-300 defense missiles. The West has urged against arming a state suspected of running a covert nuclear weapons program. Military official Alexander Fomin on Tuesday did not directly identify the S-300s, but pledged Moscow would desist from supplying "large missile systems" in accordance with the sanctions, Interfax reported.
