| Russia denies reports of selling missiles to Iran |
| 2008-12-23 |
| Russia on Monday denied that it was delivering sophisticated S-300 surface-to-air missiles to Iran, following reports it was about to supply the weapons to the U.S. arch-foe. "The information on the delivery of S-300 air-defense systems to Iran, which has appeared in certain media outlets, does not correspond to reality," Russia's military-technical cooperation agency said in a statement. Any arms sales to Iran would be carried out "abiding by all international obligations," the agency added. There have been contradictory reports about whether Russia was to supply S-300s which Iran could use to defend against an airstrike on its nuclear facilities. |

| #6 With the current oil prices, how would Iran pay for them? As I recall, the Russians have historically had no qualms in supplying weaponry, when it is in their best interests to do so. |
