Bluster ... Russia supposedly has the same launch detection capabilities as does the US. They would know that the interceptor launch is defensive. The question would be, if Iran is insane enough to launch against someone, would Russia want to buy into the attack and launch as well? Iran might not care that they get incinerated in return but Russia would.

Unfortunately they don't and their capabilities are getting worse every year, hence their paranoia.
