First of all, I really don't care for the constant drumbeat of Zionist War Propaganda (note the sources for the charge).
Secondly, even if the Iranians are purchasing the system, so what? They have EVERY RIGHT to DEFEND THEMSELVES against the USRAELI THREATS!!!
And lastly
"Israel says Iran to get new air defenses; Set to receive Russian system" by Dan Williams, Reuters | July 24, 2008
TEL AVIV - Iran is set to receive an advanced Russian-made antiaircraft system by the end of the year that could help fend off strikes against its nuclear facilities, senior Israeli defense sources said yesterday.
First delivery of the S-300 missile batteries was expected as soon as early September, one source said, though it could take six to 12 months for them to be deployed and operable.
Iran, which already has TOR-M1 surface-to-air missiles from Russia, said last December that an unspecified number of S-300s were on order. Moscow denied there was any such deal. The best S-300 can track 100 targets at once and fire on planes 75 miles away.
An Israeli defense official said Iran's contract with Russia required that the S-300s be delivered by the end of 2008. A second source said first units would arrive in early September. Experts say the S-300 would compound the challenges that Iran already poses for any future air strike campaign.
"The S-300 could prove to be a tipping point for the United States and Israel," said Sam Gardiner, a retired US Air Force colonel who conducts war games for various Washington agencies.
