1. it should be clear now Israel.!!!
Robert ,   Farmington,wv   (05.21.10)
It should be clear by now israel that you have no friends , after the failed so called hardline sanctions that obama and his goonies tried to make ,and russia selling weapons to every one of your enemies , why go take to them it's pointless.Zechariah speaks that in the end days not one..not two but everyone will come up against israel, May the lord forever bless the state of israel,
2. Strike Iran now.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.21.10)
An Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear installations will prevent a regional nuclear arms race by freeing Arab states of the need to develop their own nuclear arsenals and so prove that a strong Israel enhances regional stability. Israel's willingness and capacity to effectively strike Iran's nuclear installations will be the ultimate proof that Arabists are wrong to castigate Israel as a strategic burden. As to the relations between the USA and Iran : http://xrl.us/be48qr
3. Where is the world heading
Baloch ,   Occupied Balochistan   (05.21.10)
I strongly belive handing over these kind of defence systems to a Country like Iran if not problamatic now would lead to LARGE problems in the future. I beleive that no country in middle east should have nukes because this is a place which is most likely to get into a war. In this situatuion Israel should standup and become a member of NPT or dispose of their nuclear arsenal because iranians will try hard to get nukes and the reason they ll give is that Israel has them too.
4. Oobumma fiddles while dummyjad prepares nukes for Israel.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.21.10)
5. Combat proven S 300 missiles
Nora Tel Aviv   (05.21.10)
Russia needs more than one thing : !.By selling the SA 300 to Iran Russia plays the political card of being equal to the US vis a vis his interests with Irtan. 2. Money is money. First Iran then others, 3. Most important where in earth can Russia best combat- test its SA 300 if not in the Iran conflict.
6. russia acting against its own interests
(05.21.10)
any weapon it sells to iran, EVENTUALLY will reach the Chechen rebels and will be used against the Russian people. Russia isn't reading the map right. it think the conflict with Chechnya is merely national, when in fact it's a religious one.
7. S-300 MISSILES ARE ALREADY IN PLACE
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.21.10)
In Iran for quite sometime.Additional batteries is is what the Russians are talking about.They would also be delievered.Can we stop this S-300 saga?Without them being there,what have you been able to do,as it is?
8.  A COVERED SIGN AGAIN !!!.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (05.21.10)
Russia: We'll sell advanced missile system to Iran Sale of advanced S-300 missile system to Iran will go ahead regardless of sanctions, Russia says The sale of the advanced missile systems greatly concerns both Israeli and US defense officials, as the system's deployment will make a strike on Iran's nuclear sites significantly more difficult to carry out. IS IT NOT VERY OBVIOUS TO ISRAEL AND THE WEST, THAT RUSSIA HAS NO INTERESSTS, IN A NUCLEAR IRAN ???. THIS MESSAGE IS A COVERED SIGN FROM RUSSIA , THAT ISRAEL, ORTHE WEST, OR BOTH, SHOULD STRIKE IRAN MILITARILY TO PREVENT IRAN GOING NUCLEAR. OF CAUSE RUSSIA WILL OPENLY CONDEMN SUCH AN ATTACK , BUT BE RELIEVED OF THEIR OWN WORRY OF IRANS NUCLEARISATION. TALKBACKER NR 2. Arn.
9. Lucrative contracts to be issued to those rebuilding Iran.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles   (05.21.10)
Their will be plenty of business opportunity in Iran after the Mullahs and their nukes are scuttled.

We can do plenty as soon as we ignore Obummer who continues to try to stand in our way.

Dino Domingo ,   Canada   (05.21.10)
do you ever make intellingent comments?
12. S-300
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.21.10)
Aren't Israeli drones able to deal with the problem? You send some drones in and once the S-300 attacks them, they strike back with some HARMs? Continue this procedure until the Iranians run out of S-300s.
13. YOUR AIRCRAFTS OR THE SUBMARINES
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.21.10)
Will not leave the air-space or the territorial waters without USA giving a green light.But unfortunately,their green light is shattered.They only have the red one.Leave Obama alone.You can do nothing,and you know it.
14. Sa300
HERBIE ,   BRAZIL   (05.21.10)
They will smoke 90% of jest or crusie Missles and dont forget about the DEADLY MICRO-PULSE TOO.......Gonna be many Jets exploding..and lots of ENEMIES to Lock up in IRANS PRISONS,Not gonna be a pretty SIGHT....TRUST ME
15. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.10)
Your usual ignorance on display. Do you REALLY think that Israel needs a green light from the United States before tackling patently existential issues? More fool you. You would do well to remember, as well, that Israel IS a nuclear power, whether they publicly acknowledge it or not. Israel can turn Iran into a large glowing cinder quite easily. And there is not a damn thing that Iran would be able to do. Keep that in mind.
16. :: Poor Sarah B - #15
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (05.21.10)
Yep! Headline: Israel asked US for green light to bomb nuclear sites in Iran “US president told Israeli prime minister he would not back attack on Iran, senior European diplomatic sources tell Guardian” (Sept 2008) Headline: Obama: No green light for Israel to attack Iran “President Barack Obama said on Tuesday the United States had "absolutely not" given Israel a green light to attack Iran over its nuclear program” (July 2009) Obviously 'reality' and Sarah B's 'imagination' don't mix.
17. ...but that would be the end of Israel, Sarah.
Reader ,   from Edmonton   (05.21.10)
No Nukes.
18. Ths is the Price for Russian Support for Iranian Sanctions
izzie Irgun ,   zion   (05.21.10)
Obama is such a fool it defies logic. Read the Washington Post and you will find out that obama traded this sale with russia to get them to go along with his worthless sanctions. It gets worse, obama also took 6 Russian companies who supply Iran with material for their nuke program off the embargo list. Obama sells out Israel every chance he gets. As reckless as this sale is reality is that Israeli drone technology is simply the best in the world and that is why everyone is lining up to buy them including Russia. The jerks that write about Israeli planes getting shot down should focus on the drone attacks they are coming. Syria and Lebanon should also take note becasue their skies will be blackened by the fleet that will be attacking them. The drones will run interferance for Israeli jets who will out run their surface to air missiles and take out power plants, cell towers and other infrastructure. Last time around Israel's Sec of Defense was Perez, a moron who had no military experience. its one reasons Olmert should go to jail, forget the bribes. This time hezbollah will face Bibi, Gabi and Barak: G-d help them. Finally, to #13 and 14 you jerks can knock good old sarah b all you want but you are just frustrated that she is always right. So keep going Sarah, these anti semites need another dose of your reality.
19. S-300 purely defensive system but weakens Israel air control
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (05.21.10)
2 S-300 radar systems are known to be in operation now in Iran and Iran is building its own SA-20 missiles. This move weakens Israel as a controlling power in the ME and more so when Iran gets nukes. This will put more pressure on Israel to make a peace deal and give up control of more land but that is dangerous for Israel as a truly Jewish state.
20. Mahmood the moron....
Rich from Boston ,   Boston USA   (05.21.10)
Sarah B...you're right as usual. Here's a history lesson for Mahmood (AKA the moron). When Israel bombed BOTH reactors at Al-tuatha (ISIS class and Oseris class reactors) the IAF required extended flight capabilities for the F16 to reach the reactors and make the flight home. A request was made to the US government for the tanks but no information on why they were needed was EVER provided. The US government found out about the strike after Saddam's reactors where a smoking heap. Upon getting the call in the middle of the night President Regan's now famous response was "well, boys will be boys." So Mr Moron, you'd be advised to know the Israels will always act in their best interest with or without US approval or notification. As a far as the S-300 system is concerned, its is only a speed bump. Here's some news for you...idiot, the IAF already has stealth technology to circumvent anything the 2-phase RADAR GCI the S-300 can pick up. Thats right. Every defense analyst knows it too. Even the Russians. This will prove Soviet technology useless once again as it did in the Bekaa valley. 96 SA sights destroyed without a single lost IAF plane. Get your facts together before shooting off your big mouth. Fool. Rich from Boston
21. Yeah..that Mahmood guy...something else

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.10)
How so? Who is going to launch a retaliatory strike on Israel? Au contraire, dear. The world will heave a great big sigh of relief.
23. Russia
Mike ,   Silver Spring USA   (05.21.10)
Hmm, I'm wondering whether it would make sense for Israel to make a point to Russia that its recent sales to Syria and potential delivery of missles to Iran will cause Israel to reconsider its agreement with Russia not to supply Georgia with arms. Maybe Israel should even play - the enemy of my enemy is my friend - card and threaten to open talks with Chechen rebels just like Russia spoke with Hamas. For that matter when considering the EU - maybe consider talks with the ETA, Morocco's claims to Gibraltar, Mellila, and Ceuta, and Argentina's claim to the Falklands/Malvinas.
24. To no. 2 and 15
Ron   (05.21.10)
Amilitary strike will never work. Iran is a huge and mountainous country. Iran did not declare all of its hidden facilities concealed deep in the mountains .
25. # 20 Midnight Richhy
Joy   (05.21.10)
Israel cannot do anything without an ok from USA greenback, Mr. Rich staying in Boston
26. #20 Rich. wasn't it the vietnamese who punished you?
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.21.10)
Isn't it the taliban at this very moment who is delivering crushing blows to your army in afghanistan? Your army is losing the war in afghanistan as we speak,you really don't have the cash nor resources for a 3rd round of fighting. Specially in a country twice the size of the 2 you are already occupying,with a 75 million population. Remember,most military analysts do believe that the iranians could make life a living hell for your troops in iraq and afghanistan. PS: talking behind a PC about military stuff is very easy,but are you willing to get yourself enrolled for a tour to afghanistan?? I doubt it.
27. #20, thank's a lot for the interesting info...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.21.10)
28. Iranians need to put their heads...
Joey Rose ,   Portland   (05.21.10)
between their legs and kiss their bums goodbye. S300's won't help even if they are manned by Russians.
29. #16 Matty- would'nt be the first time....
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.21.10)
they have spit in our president's face.
30. Unfortunately
Robin ,   LA, US   (05.22.10)
Bibi is not the man for these times. If he, as reported, panicked at the White House when Obama was mean to him, I don't see him having the courage to go up against the mullahs.
