The Iranian government has brought a lawsuit against the Russian
government to the International Court over Moscow's failure to deliver
S-300 missile systems to Tehran. The Iranian ambassador to Moscow,
Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi, held a news conference in Moscow on Wednesday to
complain to the Russian media and people.
Sajjadi said during the news conference that the S-300 shipment would
not be a violation of the UN Security Council's Resolution #1929, that
prohibits the sale to Iran of conventional weapons, including missiles,
tanks, military helicopters, warplanes and warships.
The Iranian diplomat told the reporters that President
Ahdmadinejad ordered the lawsuit in the hope that the court would rule
in favor of Iran and thus help Russia carry out the weapons shipment.
