TEHRAN (Reuters) – Russia has begun delivering S-300 air defense systems to Iran which could help repel any Israeli and U.S. air strikes on its nuclear sites, the official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.

"After few years of talks with Russia ... now the S-300 system is being delivered to Iran," IRNA quoted Email Kosari, deputy head of parliament's Foreign Affairs and National Security committee, as saying.

For those who came in late, this thread used to have a mismatched title. Thank you Moderators!

We are going to sit back until they are ready to wipe out Isreal.

It’s like knowing you are going to a fight, and arranging for it to be postponed until your opponent can go get a black belt.

Insane.

[Flavius]

it appears since the pakis got the nukes, that it was only a matter of time until everyone got one

so maybe the Persians promise not to use them and its all going to be well

[JimRed]

Is this the same wonderful air defense missile system the Israelis spoofed so successfully in their attack on the Syrian nuke facility?

Hope so!

It's nice to get an explanation. I thought my brains were scrambled, reading the first few replies.

Er uh ... they are scrambled, but never that well done.

Thanks for the tip SubMareener.

IRNA quoted Email Kosari

Cool name.

I think a dozen Raptors with nuclear capability can do the job.

No. It was the likes of Debka that made up such stories. The Israeli’s struck an unprotected facility and took the weakest route (Turkish airspace/border) through to the target. The Syrians didn’t protect the facility in order not to draw attention to it.
