Iran and Israel said deliveries of s-300
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said statements of the capital of Russia to supply s-300 systems from Russia to Iran.
"Israel perceives as a matter of utmost gravity the sale of s-300 missiles from Russia to Iran and at the same time, Iran is stepping up the aggression in the area and along the borders of Israel," said Netanyahu, quoted by RIA " Novosti ".
Minister of foreign Affairs of Iran in an interview on the TV channel Euronews said: "the contract with Russia for the supply of defense systems We have signed a long time ago. It is a defensive weapon, it is not intended for attacks, We ordered it in Russia for a long time. Russia has decided to meet its contractual obligations and to deliver ". As to the question, whether the delivery of s-300 in contravention of the arms embargo by the security Council of the UN, Zarif said That the Russian Federation has already made a clear message about the sanctity of the regime." No, they are not in conflict with this embargo. I think That the Russian Federation on this issue is made very clear message - the supply of such weapons do not violate the embargo of the UN security Council. Iran does not recognize the mode of punishment, We believe these limits to be illegal and unjustified. Russia has decided on their own, for this reason, any questions to ask Moscow. We are confident That the delay in supply of s-300 was in no way justified, and welcome Russia's decision to execute this contract, " said Zarif. Yesterday the head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin said That Israel has the right to give weapons to Ukraine in response to the delivery of s-300 to Iran, but It is counterproductive. On the first day of the week, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that lifted the ban on the production and delivery of anti-aircraft missile systems s-300 to Iran. Later, the President's press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said That the supply rocket complex With-300 to Iran have the opportunity to begin at any time. The U.S. and Israel opposed this decision of Russia. The head of the state Duma on international Affairs Alexei Pushkov said That the appearance in the Arsenal of Iran s-300 will not create threats to the security of Israel, located at a considerable distance from its borders.
