Bibi won.
He’s going to attack, and do so soon.
Russia realizes that their missiles will be torn to shreds without a success and does not need the PR disaster that it would create when the world sees how the Israelis have yet again, made Russia’s finest weapons - and only export product - impotent... again.

They can smell the jet fuel in the air already and will sell the missiles after Iran has nothing to defend.

Only to be used as a bargaining chip in preventing a missile defense shield from being built in Eastern Europe. You have to ask your self what is the ability to shoot down a nuclear tipped missile really worth?

Probably a press or PR ploy...publicly say the sale is frozen...but you sneak them to Iran thru back-channels.

Look at a map....Russia can fly the equipment piece-meal from Russia to Iran over the Caspian Sea...without going thru any other nation’s airspace.

Putin expects that his first meeting with ODumbo will be a modern-day Yalta Conference.

I fully expect ODumbo to go along, not only by caving on the missiles in Eastern Europe, but also by stabbing Georgia and Ukraine in the back, dropping the US embargo against Cuba, and permitting the building of a Soviet (um, I mean Russian) naval base in Cuba or Venezuela.

Once all of that has occurred, he will go ahead and sell the S-300's to Iran as originally planned. After all, business is business for the Russians (and ODumbo will be ODumbo)...

My guess....oil price is way down.Iran wasn’t paying, doesn’t have the money so the Russians stopped the project
