"The Iranian (version) of the S-300 system is undergoing field modification and will be test-fired soon as other long range systems are being designed and produced," IRNA quoted Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Mansourian, a commander in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, as saying. World powers are locked in an eight-year-old stand-off with Iran over its nuclear energy programme, which they believe will be used to develop nuclear bombs rather than be devoted to peaceful generation of electricity, as Tehran says. Some Western officials suspect Iran's development of more sophisticated missiles and some much-publicized missile tests could serve the goal of developing a deliverable nuclear weapon. MISSILES FOR DEFENSE ONLY, IRAN SAYS The Islamic Republic denies such accusations, saying its missile development efforts are for defensive purposes only. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev banned the delivery of the high-precision S-300 air defense system to Iran in September, scuttling a tentative deal in gestation for years, saying it would violate expanded U.N. sanctions imposed in June over Iran's defiance of demands to curb its nuclear programme. Iranian officials said after Russia scrapped the sale that Tehran had decided to build its own model of the S-300 but gave no sign that such plans had advanced beyond the drawing board. "Buying S-300 missiles from the Russia was on the agenda to meet some of the security needs of our country," said Mansourian. "But under the pretext of the (U.N. Security Council) resolution and due to American and Zionist pressure, Russia refused to deliver the defensive system." The Revolutionary Guards oversee Iran's missile programme. The United States and Israel had urged Moscow to scrap the deal, fearing Iran could use S-300s to shield nuclear facilities that they suspect are part of an atomic bomb programme. U.S. and Israeli officials have not ruled out a pre-emptive attack to knock out Iran's nuclear sites if diplomacy fails. Iran this week offered world powers some dates for renewed talks but President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday the disputed nuclear programme would not be up for negotiation. The Islamic Republic has warned that its response to any military attack would be crushing. Iranian officials have criticized their Russian counterparts for unilaterally nullifying the S-300 sale contract and threatened to seek compensation. Last month, a senior Russian official said Moscow planned to pay back a $166.8 million advance payment made by Iran for the S-300. 1 2 Next World Russia Comments See All Comments (6) | Post Comment Nov 10, 2010 9:45am EST I can’t understand how we in the U.S., or any independent world power for that matter, can fairly tell Iran that they can’t have missles or nukes while allowing Israel to have them? Ed57 Report As Abusive Nov 10, 2010 9:56am EST May have something to do with the Iranian president saying that Israel should be wiped off the Earth. Richoux Report As Abusive Nov 10, 2010 10:13am EST translation: Iran to test fire rocket it bought from Russia and painted in its own national colors. Don’t trust Russia, they are not our friends. @ED57, you’re kidding right, read what Richoux said, oh and then there’s that whole thing about the holocaust and how crazy Ahmadiniwho says it never occured and UN reports about how Iran is supporting terrorism. But no, you’re right, lets just give them nukes because they are people and completely ignore they are hateful and violent. We can create a new entitlement for that and base it on the Social Security model. At retirement age, every terrorist sponsoring nation will get a nuke of your choice simply because you exist. Sounds awesome to me! Oh and all of you evil people who work hard and create jobs, you have to pay for it through taxes, sorry… BHOlied Report As Abusive Nov 10, 2010 10:33am EST Thank you Richoux. Someone who pays attention !! This guy in iran is going to take us to our next World War. He needs to be silenced (with extreme haste). wolf91101 Report As Abusive Nov 10, 2010 10:37am EST Iran has a right to defend herself.. I don’t understand why in the hell should the West be concerned about any countries Nuclear Ambitions? :-S I mean it’s not West’s sole rights to own NUKES… Aren’t we all equal ? and should have the same opportunity. US and other Western countries just want to flex their muscles to prove a point which has little sense or merit tipu420 Report As Abusive Nov 10, 2010 10:47am EST Talk is cheap. Are we to base actions on talk and emotional statements? And Israel needs a counterbalance for their aggressive and highly materialistic actions toward the relatively powerless Palestinians….example they’re currently ramping up construction in Jeruseleum. Israel doesn’t listen to us in the U.S. regarding the need for a Palestinian state and no more Jeruseleum construction, ending blockade etc. We in the U.S. take the heat from the rest of the world when Israel does something outlandish, because we continue to protect and support them. Why do we continue to support them? And are you stupid enough to think that “good Christians and Jews” are the only people who can be good and “work hard”?
