Iran urges Russia to deliver overdue missiles

[FarCenter]

MOSCOW, November 13 (RIA Novosti) - A top Iranian military official on Friday urged Russia to honor its bilateral military contract and deliver the promised S-300 surface-to-air missiles, the Mehr news agency reported.

Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi said Russia was six months behind schedule with deliveries of advanced air-defense systems.

"Why haven't they delivered the S-300 missiles? Six months have now passed since they were supposed to deliver them," he said.

Russia signed a contract with Iran on the supply of S-300 air defense systems to the Islamic Republic in December 2005. However, there have been no official reports on the start of the contract's implementation since then.

This would be a good reason why Iran doesn't trust its uranium to Russia as part of the IAEA deal.

You are absolutely correct. Also consider that Iran is a 10 percent stake holder of France's Eurodif nuclear facility and is entitled to plant's output, but has never received any nuclear material from that plant for medical use either. Yep, no wonder Iran doesn't trust them.
