Russia has struck a deal to provide Iran with short-range, surface-to-air missiles, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Monday. He defended the deal, saying that the weapons system was purely defensive.
Russian media reported Friday that Russian and Iranian officials had signed various weapons contracts in November worth a billion dollars (?850 million) that would send up to 30 Tor-M1 missile systems to Iran over the next two years.
''A contract for the delivery of air defense Tor missile systems to Iran has indeed been signed,'' Ivanov said in comments broadcast by the state channel Rossiya, without giving further details.

What are our troops doing over in Iraq? We need them here,
we have more enemies here in the US than over there.
* Carter gives away the Panama Canal.
* Clinton sells the Intelligence Secrets etc, to China.
* Gore partners up with the Russians and then sells
missiles to Iran so they can be used against us.
What in creation is going on?
Seems like "Red Dawn" was more of a prophecy than a
fictitious movie. Maybe it's time to start preparations
and think about heading for the hills.
Time for Rush to get that commie dirge song out of the mothballs.

Like that is going to happen. A legitimate arms deal between two nations would not be stopped. The North Koreans supplied ballistic missiles to Yemen. It was stopped on the high seas and later released. The Iranians receive arms from China. None of these shipments are being stopped.
Red Dawn?
Loved that movie BTW.
I think that just might happen. Remember this? (Nuke Subs)

They've been gearing up for action for years. I hope they don't have to use any of this stuff. Israel is obviously capable of defending itself.
Thanks for the great information.
We can be thankful that Israel is who they are and our friends in the middle east.
RUSSLAM is off and running these days!
Maybe the Russians just provided a "live fire" missile demonstration today in Tehran?
And a video of this system can be seen thru this link

We could interdict the shipment and destroy it. Boy, would that create an international firestorm.
