Steinitz: S-300s Sold to Syria May End Up in Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - "Why should anyone supply Assad with advanced ballistic or anti-aircraft or anti-ship rockets at this very time?" International Relations Minister Yuval Steinitz asked Tuesday. "Maybe, because of the disorder in Syria, [or because] of the very heavy dependence of Syria on the Iranian assistance, some of those weapons might unfortunately find their way to the Iranians. This is very bad, and against the weapon embargo on Iran." "We have reason to believe that there is still room to convince the Russians on this matter," he added.
