Russia has delivered new anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran and will
consider further requests by Tehran for defensive weapons, Russian Defense
Minister Sergei Ivanov said on Tuesday.
"We have supplied the modern short-range anti-aircraft systems TOR-M1
in accordance with our contracts," Ivanov told reporters. "Iran is not under
sanctions and if it wants to buy defensive ... equipment for its armed forces
then why not?"
A defense ministry source later told Reuters deliveries of hardware under
the $1 billion deal, which has been criticised by the West, have not yet been
completed.
With allies like Russia, who needs enemies?
