Russia defends Iran’s missile delivery MOSCOW: Russia on Friday repeated its insistence that its sale of air defence missiles to Iran did not violate any of its international obligations, Russian news agencies reported. Military and technical cooperation between the two countries is based on international law and bilateral agreements, Interfax and ITAR-Tass quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin as saying. The statement came after Russian and Iranian officials said Iran had taken delivery of Tor-M1 missile systems under a 2005 contract. Russian media have reported that Moscow said it would supply 29 of the mobile surface-to-air missile systems to Iran under a contract worth US$700 million. The United States last year called for a halt to international arms exports to Iran, and for an end to nuclear cooperation with the country to pressure it to stop uranium enrichment. Israel has also criticized arms deals with Iran. The UN Security Council, of which Russia is a permanent member, approved sanctions against Iran on Dec. 23. ap +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
