Russia should honor the S-300 deal with Iran....based on responsibility.

President Putin, Sergei Lavrov and Dmitry Medvedev have all spent a lot of air-time stating and even pleading to the world, why Israel or the USA should not attack Iran.

These good gentlemen have all offered different reasons....that it will initiate WWIII, or a serious regional conflict that will not be limited to Iran only....and so forth.

I suppose one could also add the cliche that the road to Moscow, and the final dismemberment of the country will be through Iran.

The NATO/USA after all are aggressively positioned in the Baltics, were in the Ukraine, in the Caucasus with Georgia joining NATO, in Iraq, In Afghanistan, In Central Asia via Uzbekistan especially....and even in Mongolia. The attack and defeat of Iran will add to the all encompassing chain.

Russia in response has been very mild and weak.......we understand that this is because of the Jews within Russia whose elite prefer to adhere to tribal directives from London, Tel a Viv and New York.(ie: Stalin killing the entire top brass of the Soviet Military on the eve of certain war, or dismantling Mikhail Tukhachevsky's revolutionary armored formations, until they were rendered worthless up to July 1940)

But a lot of problems will be solved if Russia simply honored its sale of S-300 to Iran. The SAM system dating back to the 1970's is a purely defensive weapon that enhances the air-defense of a weak Third World country. Nothing more. Iran currently has only 190 serviceable jet fighters that can take to the air to defend its air-space, and a mere 230 SAM batteries, all of which are of out dated caliber.

Then Putin, Medvedev and Lavov will no longer have to make convoluted pleading speeches to the world, why Israel or the USA should not attack Iran.

Russia after all is the country that built/completed the Bushehr civilian nuclear power plant ( I am assuming with good intentions, and not as part of an International Jewish conspiracy----oil rich Iran doesn't REALLY need civilian nuclear power yet.......especially given the controversy it has created). 

Thus Russia, by building the Bushehr civilian nuclear power plant has handed the paranoiac Israelis a stick with which to beat Iran, drum up Western support for sanctions....and the plausibility of full regional war, after an Israeli attack.

Thus Russia has a lot of responsibilities towards Iran....(Russia has metaphorically invited a guest to their house, but must not pull the chair away from the invited guest just as he is about to sit down.......in his house.)

Russia also has real strategic interests in Iran, the elaboration of which I do not need to get into here.

Let us have 200 S-300 batteries in Iran, not just a token worthless few of 5 such systems under the agreement of 2007, along with 6,000 actual missiles. 100 batteries around Tehran, and another 100 batteries around the border of the country. Then let us also have 200 S-400 batteries in Iran, again around the border, and in various interior strategic locations. These ALL can be supplied from Russia defense stocks, and one should not wait for them to be manufactured.

The mullahs have probably well over $200 billion in FCR's, so they can easily fund such a huge purchase. BUT such an agreement should not merely be based on commercial/financial considerations, but rather strategic and military considerations. 

Israel after all receives free military aid from the USA covering billions upon billions of $.

Moscow should deliver S-300 defense system to Iran: Russian official

Chairman of the Russian Defense Ministry's Public Council Igor Korotchenko has called on Moscow to fulfill its contractual obligations to Tehran and deliver the S-300 air defense systems to Iran.

In a Thursday interview with Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency, Korotchenko urged Russia to sell the S-300 defense system to Iran, arguing that the move does not run counter to any UN mandates.

The Russian defense official pointed to Moscow’s dispute with the NATO member states over the military alliance’s 2010 plan to establish a missile system in eastern Europe, the Syrian crisis and Uzbekistan’s withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) of ex-Soviet nations on June 28 and underscored the necessity of Moscow’s support for friend nations against the backdrop of the ensuing geopolitical developments.

CSTO, headquartered in Moscow, consists of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The organization was created in 2002 and has been developing rapid reaction forces along with constructing drones.

Korotchenko went on to say that Iran and Russia share a lot of common positions on international developments and argued that the delivery of the S-300 defense systems to Iran will be a “logical step” for maintaining Moscow’s geopolitical interests in the region.

Earlier in July, Iran's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said Tehran’s 2011 complaint against Russia at the International Court of Justice over Moscow's refusal to ship the S-300 air defense systems to the Islamic Republic is under examination at the relevant international legal bodies.

Under a contract signed in 2007, Russia was required to provide Iran with at least five S-300 air-defense systems.

However, Moscow's continuous delays in delivering the defense system drew criticism from the Islamic Republic on several occasions.

Russia has been refusing to deliver the system to Iran under the pretext that the selling of the system is banned by the fourth round of UN Security Council resolutions against Iran.  

(International Jewish lobbying in Moscow, that does not meet with Russia's real strategic requirements.......whilst simultaneously the USA has been installing missiles on Russia's doorstep rather provocatively. Russia's eagerness to follow USA instituted sanctions against Iran, especially in the realms of security, a country that otherwise obviously shares regional concerns with Russia, rather assiduously.....seems rather strange)

Korotchenko lashed out at the West for leveling allegations against Iran’s nuclear energy program as a pretext to put Tehran under pressure and argued that there has been no evidence of military diversion in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program.

The United States, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program.

Iran has strongly rejected the US-led allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
