Germany's Steinmeier: Too early to reward Iran with missile systems
None
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke out on Tuesday against Russia's decision to prepare to deliver missile systems to Iran ahead of a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in the northern German city of Luebeck.
"We're in the middle of a process," Steinmeier told reporters. "It is also too early to talk about rewards at this stage."
The Kremlin confirmed on Tuesday that an oil-for-goods barter deal between Russia and Iran was being implemented and officials said the road was clear for Moscow to supply an advanced S-300 anti-missile system to Tehran.
