Iran says S-300 deal will secure region
Iran hails Russia’s decision to lift a ban on supplying Iran with sophisticated S-300 air-defense missile systems as a step toward “lasting security” in the region.
“The development of bilateral cooperation [with Russia] and with neighboring countries in various fields can be very effective for lasting stability and security in the region,” Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan is quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA, referring to “extra-regional threats and the development of terrorist activities.”
