Russia Denies Supplying Iran with Advanced Anti-Aircraft Missiles
[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid - Russia reassured Israel on Sunday that it stands by its commitment not to supply Iran with advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles. Pyotr Stegny, the Russian ambassador to Israel, told top Israeli officials that Russia was not planning to advance the missile deal with Iran and had not yet begun to deliver the missiles. Russia's RIA news agency last week quoted "confidential sources" as saying that Russia was fulfilling terms of an S-300 contract with Iran, and the official news agency of Iran, IRNA, reported on Sunday that Russia was supplying it with the missiles.
