"Diplomatic sources say that the US had probably been too stunned to comment."

Naive, gullible American officialdom actually trusted the Russians to take American interests to heart. It seems they have to learn the hard way that Russia cannot to be trusted. Russia has always had ambitions for world power and influence and they show no inclination to change that. The first place they start is Central Asia -- their own back yard.

Actually, Russia is probaly selling this stuff to Iran for a buttload of cash, thereby looking after their national interests, same as we do. Doesn't mean its a good thing though.
