Russian Missiles for the Ayatollah
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - By authorizing the sale of Russia's S-300 missile system to Iran, the Kremlin is offering the mullahs an air-defense capability so sophisticated that it would render Iran's nuclear installations far more difficult and costly to attack should Tehran seek to build a bomb. Mr. Obama wants to delegate responsibility for enforcing his nuclear deal with Iran to the UN, which means that the Russians will have a say - and a veto - there, too. Think of this missile sale as a taste of what's to come.
