Reports In Russia On S-300 Missiles To Iran

The Iranian media are citing a Russian media report that Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, has said that following the increase in tension between Russia and the West, it is logical for Russia to supply S-300 missiles to Iran.

The reformist daily Etemad assessed that this statement attests to an increased likelihood that a Russia-Iran deal will be implemented.
