Russia Confirms Sale of Tor-M1 Air Defense Missiles to Iran

[Canuck_Buck]

MOSCOW "” Russia's defense minister said Tuesday that Russia has sold Tor-M1 air defense missile systems to Iran. It was the first high-level confirmation that such a sale took place.

"We sent Tor-M1 missiles to Iran in accordance with the contract," Sergei Ivanov told reporters.

Previous reports had cited unnamed officials reporting the sale.
Ivanov did not specify how many missile systems had been delivered, but a ministry official speaking on condition of anonymity said not all the systems contracted for had been delivered.

Ministry officials have previously said Moscow would supply 29 of the sophisticated missile systems to Iran under a $700 million contract signed in December, according to Russian media reports.

"If the Iranian leadership has a desire to purchase more defense weapons, we would do that," Ivanov said, without elaborating.

It's just what Russia has been doing for years, trying to instigate WWIII.

You know many have intrepreted Old and New Testiment prophesies as Russia being the major player in armagaddan attacking Isarel. Scary how things are coming together. And I am one of those people who do not want to believe that prophesy.

I think that prediction come out during the Cold War, but even though it's ended, it looks like Putin is slowly going to bring it back.

He says he isn't running for re-election, but is there evengoing to be an election?

They have the same old Soviet anthem back, and they're trying to be imperialistic again, by using their resources by making embargos, economical conflict that isn't there.

They say Georgian wine isn't good, so they decide to cut trade, what a bunch of horsecrap!

I wouldn't be surprised if it is them at all.

No man, not a "prediction, an old Testiment prophesy.Quite a difference there my friend.Its documented for thousands of years in the Holy bible in the books of Ezekiel 38 and 39

This could be the war of Ezekiel 38 and 39. We relate it to the war of the Second Seal in Revelation 6:3-4, but some respected scholars apply it to The Battle of Armageddon later in the Book of Revelation

I was talking about the prediction that Russia is the nation from the North that will invade. Who knows? It could be the whole EU.

No one knows how this world will look like in 100-500 years. God willing, America will still be here.

Maybe you should condemn your own country for doing the same. They sold to Iran parts for weapons. Now that is still funny as hell. Chimps condemn another country and yet you all have done the same. Pathetic 2 standard monkeys.

Take it easy there wierdo. Nobody is condemning anything. A guy was just reporting the news. Talk about monkey and a chimp .

Its a shame that stories like this, are portrayed by the "bible folks", as some kinda armgeddon honky tonky, get real, if the worlds gonna end, its gonna end, there ain't no prophecy to it. BTW, everyone knows Putin and Ahmadinejad are bed buddies.
