Tehran sues Moscow

Iran sued Russia in the International Court of Justice over its refusal to supply S-300 missile systems, an Iranian diplomat said.

The two countries signed a contract in 2007 requiring Russia to provide Iran with at least five S-300 systems, Iran's Press TV reported.

Russia has said it is unable to deliver the systems because of U.N. Security Council sanctions preventing the sales to the Islamic Republic.

"Legally, we believe the shipment of S-300 system is not subject to the U.N. Security Council resolution so we filed our lawsuit, hoping the international court ruling would help Russia carry out the supplies," Seyyed Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi, Iran's ambassador to Russia, said at a news conference in Moscow Wednesday.

The S-300 missile defense system is considered to be one of the most advanced anti-aircraft systems in the world. It has the ability to track 100 targets simultaneously while engaging 12.

The system developed in Russia is designed to knock out anti-aircraft and cruise missiles and also ballistic missiles.

@jb0433628 While I agree that group you mentioned crave war & volatility since it's means massive profits and power for them, however the current Tehran dictatorship are fanatical Shi'ite Muslims sworn to pave the way for the return of their Mahdi, and that means igniting regional, then international jihad, and they are armed by the Russkies.

@Geostrategic1

The only one who want war are the blood sucking globalists controlled by Rothchild and Rockefeller.

US, Israel, England.

@geostrategic1 iran igniting a mucker war? what the fuck is wrong with you

[Geostrategic1]

If it was not for the Kremlin's nuclear support to Iran, coupled with massive weapons shipments, including anti-aircraft installations surrounding all of the Tehran's nuke weapons plants, the Iranian dictatorship would not be this close to igniting a nuclear regional war.
