Iran has deployed Russian-made S-300 long-range missiles in its Fordow nuclear facility, Tehran Times and other Iranian state-run media reported Sunday. State TV showed the missiles and other counter-strike weapons being transported to Fordow.
The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP) is a uranium enrichment facility located 20 miles northeast of the city of Qom. The site is the second Iranian uranium enrichment facility, the other one is in Natanz. In January 2012 the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced that Iran had started producing uranium enriched up to 20%.
Earlier on Sunday, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a speech at the Khatam Al-Anbia Air Defense Base, said that "malicious, treacherous, and systematically opposing our independence" are trying to weaken Iran's defensive capabilities, and so, in response to this threat, "air defense should be in the frontline against this enemy."

Khamenei stated: "Human will along with indigenous capability should provide a means to thwart the enemies' plots and they should not let enemies even entertain any encroachments of our borders and sovereignty." He condemned the "media hype" that followed Russia's delivery of the S300 missile systems, which he insisted are merely a defensive weapon. He rebuked the US, whose "propaganda about Fordow underground facilities ... revealed the very nature of an enemy who would not recognize the right to defend our people. They would only be satisfied when we are rendered defenseless and an easy prey to their invasion," the Ayatollah stressed.

Trump: Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so, you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. Lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity, and that's the way it is.

[[[I wonder how they paid for those things]
I also wonder who voted to write the check....]]
Ted Cruz voted NO
Here is a list of the votes

and here is the statement he made
Sen. Cruz: We Still Have an Opportunity to Tell the Truth About Today’s ‘Mistake of Historic Proportion’
Congress Must Stop a Deal that Puts Iran on Path Toward Nuclear Bomb
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=2374
I will be willing to go way out on a limb and sat that the muslim who currently occupies the White House at the demand of a majority of the voters of America paid for those things. And while still on the limb, go out a little further, and offer the opinion that those in the Congress of the United States of America who voted for the Iran Nuclear Treaty voted to write the check. And while the check may have been modest in its amount, it was the first of many that will follow it. I would also be remiss if I did not give credit due to the voters that voted the players into office.
It does not have anything with the price of eggs in China, but just for kicks, how many of those who voted for the Iran Nuclear Treaty also hate Donald Trump’s guts?
$1.3 billion USD pays off a lot of arms contracts
Iran and Putin both thank Barry Hussein Obama
That kind of a system protecting that place is not just there for sh!ts and giggles. The radar for its missiles is a sophisticated phased array (newer than a Patriot System) `backed up by all manner of early warning AD assets.
Yet according to the Obama-Putin Iran deal that apparently is what they would be required to do.
They actually bothered to vote on this? I really don't see why, since they've already ceded their responsibilities to the Executive Branch.
Hope they’re long, long, long range and aimed at DC...preferably when everyone is in town!
About $1.5 Billion...
Iran should have been taken care of by Geo. W. Bush.
Thanks for the ping Lera very interesting stuff
yep
[how many of those who voted for the Iran Nuclear Treaty also hate Donald Trumps guts?]
