[Al Arabiya] Russia has dropped plans to supply Iran with S-300 missiles because they are subject to international sanctions, a top general said on Wednesday, in the strongest confirmation yet of the leadership's intentions to put the controversial sale on ice.
"A decision has been taken not to supply the S-300 to Iran, they undoubtedly fall under sanctions," the chief of the general staff Nikolai Makarov said in an apparent reference to U.N. sanctions, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported.
"There was a decision by the leadership to stop the supply process, we are carrying it out," Makarov was quoted as saying. |
