MOSCOW -- Russia said yesterday it had delivered new anti aircraft missile systems to Iran and would consider more requests from Tehran for defensive weapons, immediately drawing criticism from the United States. The United States accuses Iran of seeking nuclear arms and undermining security in the Middle East. The United Nations has banned sensitive nuclear trade with Iran but there are no sanctions on conventional weapons. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told reporters in Moscow that Russia had supplied the modern short-range anti aircraft systems TOR-M1.

Iran, the same terrorist exporting Islamic dictatorship responsible for ordering the murders of American troops, Coalition troops, Israelis, Iraqis, Lebanese, Kurds, and countless other innocent victims around the globe, yet Moscow continues supplying the Mahdi mad Iranian tyrants, along with other Anti-American terrorist instigating states with the means to trigger the unthinkable.
I think we would end up fighting those in Afganistan or Iraq.
There needs to be another way to screw with Putin.
"The United States accuses Iran of seeking nuclear arms and undermining security in the Middle East."
Fixed: "The United States knows Iran is seeking nuclear arms and Russia is undermining security in the Middle East."
It is the DEFENSIVE wepons isn't it? Who told me here that the defensive weaponry do not point no one?
"There needs to be another way to screw with Putin."
Polonium 201?
bttt
Putin and his KGB henchmen are playing us for suckers.
....Or Dioxin, or plain old cyanide. Putin is really a thug.
I understand they are thinking of changing the name of that particular element to Putinium 201.
This is not the 'Joke of The Month Club'.
The Ahmadinejad dictatorship has reiterated it goal of exterminating Israel, yet Putin supplies Iran with nuclear fuel and Russian nuclear advisor's assisting Tehran with it's offensive nuclear weapons quest.
The Ahmadinejad dictatorship has also interlinked with Latin American communist governments who want to destroy America, yet Putin's Russian arms continue flowing to Iran and their communist cohorts.
Putin's actions make him an enemy of the free world.
Well, nobody is a saint when it comes to the arms trade.
Nations don't have friends, they have interests.
Solutions are on route.

We might consider giving Ukraine and Georgia "defensive" or "short-range missles" - it might help Putin understand the dangers of screwing with us - of course, the Dems, MSM and ACLU are all against us also and it will take some spine to promote that policy...
You have a point, however the majority of Russian arms sales head directly to America's worst enemies.
"Putin's actions make him an enemy of the free world."
It does, he is, and when the hell is the world, or at least America, going to call him on it??..just like stopping Imanutjob, stopping Putin is long overdue.
Putin is the only one who remains the 'life of the party' :)
I like it but.. from that article:
"This demonstrates our resolve to do what we can to bring security and stability to the region," Aandahl said. "That's obviously to dissuade others from acting counter to our national interest."
..apparently, Russia doesn't consider itself "others".. but I really hope that we do.
