Russian S-300 Supplies To Iran Prompt Turks, Saudis To Turn To Israel by scully95: 11:12am On Apr 15, 2016
Russia delivery of S-300 air defense systems to Iran dispels Israel's threat to attack the Islamic Republic; at the same time, it may increase tensions between Tehran and the countries of the anti-Iranian bloc, according to Turkish political analyst Hakan Gunes.


In an interview with Sputnik, Turkish political analyst Hakan Gunes said that Israel's threat to attack Iran becomes irrelevant in light of the delivery of Russia's S-300 air defense systems to the Islamic Republic, which, however, may fuel further tensions between Tehran and the countries of the anti-Iranian bloc.
Gunes specifically stressed that the S-300 deliveries added significantly to the strengthening of Iran's defense capabilities.

"Aggravating the situation around Russia's S-300 shipments to Iran was first of all provoked by Israel and Saudi Arabia. The S-300 systems are defensive rather than offensive weaponry. They do not pose a threat to any state, and are designed to ensure the safety of a country's airspace from a possible missile attack,"
he said.

According to him, the S-300 supplies to Iran alarmed Israel and Saudi Arabia, which have repeatedly threatened to launch a missile strike on the Islamic Republic.

"Israel and Saudi Arabia have more than once made statements about a medium-range missile strike on Iran's infrastructure. These statements became irrelevant now that Iran has received the S-300 systems,"
Gunes said.


He also pointed to contradictions in Washington's relations with its allies in the region, including Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, something that have been in place in the past 18 months.
Gunes suggested that these countries cannot wait to see US President Obama's term end after the November elections in order to intensify their anti-Iranian activities. He predicted that the next few months may see further rapprochement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

In case of a conflict with Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are most likely to turn to the Israeli lobby in the US for support, according to him.

"With an ever-increasing activity of the countries of the anti-Iranian bloc, confrontation between them and Iran could escalate after the November elections in the US,"
Gunes said.

The first batch of the S-300 surface-to-air missiles capable of downing jets was delivered to Iran on April 11, according to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.


Russia and Iran signed a 900-million-dollar contract in 2007 amid opposition from Israel and the United States. The deal was suspended after the UN Security Council imposed sanctions on Iran in mid-2010.
In April 2015, Russia resumed talks on S-300 deliveries following a framework agreement on a landmark pact that aimed to ensure the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear program.

Israel, in turn, criticized Russia's decision to go ahead with arms deliveries to Iran, saying that it would allegedly further destabilize the region.

Israel's stance on Iran getting weapons hasn't changed and am sure a response is underway to Russia.

Be reminded,Israel has technological sophistication that beats any Russian defense Systems.Even the S-400 is in no league with David's Sling.That's a show of Israel's capabilities.

Israeli F-15I fighters have been upgraded with new softwares that have detected the Antey 2500(S-300 variant) deployed by Egyptian military in the Sinai.Further upgrades to the F-16I shows the S-300 is not invisible to Israeli Airforce.

It's only a matter of time,with the delivery of the F-35's later this year,the S-300 and S-400 pose no threat to Israel as Israeli technological sophistication will smoke them out.

That asides,Israel has several masterplans to level Iranian infrastructures should she choose to.Long range Missiles is just one out of several option.Even in the event the S-300 beats Israeli technology(which is highly unlikely).Israel can still deploy other options that the S-300 cannot stop.

Iran is continually being surrounded by enemies, it needs more than the S-300 now,
It has to continue that Uranium enrichment and get it hands on a nuclear bomb.
With a nuclear bomb, America, the Saudis and it Sunni Bloc, and Israel will steer clear.

Learn from North Korea Iran, with a nuclear bomb, the will only bark and not bite.

It's surprising how people never learn.

Russia and China supported and assisted North Korea's efforts to become a nuclear power as a protest to the United States and other Western powers.Today what do we have,a rogue nation controlled by a crazy leader who sees no difference in allies and enemies and is ready to nuke anyone if(no when) needs because North Korea is hungry for live actions with their toys.Russia and China can see clearly that North Korea is nobody's friend.Now they both attest to the danger Pyongyang poses to the world at large.

Isn't this enough message to any sane human,that arming states like North Korea and Iran with nukes is a step towards raising the global threat levels to the Nazi era.

How is north korea a rogue nation. Can you just proof one fact on how it's a rogue nation and compare it to the empire of lies, empire of debt, empire that wants to save issuing free money. What else could be more corrupt than the corruption of power that leads to the death of millions of poeple ? Empire of corruption to mention a few.

What else could be easier way to steal when you borrow and never pay back ?
oya over to the empire of lies..

I won't say anything because you like to copy and paste jagons. I have tackled your crap in the past so I won't repeat what I said but fact remains, this is a highly defensive weapon and I see no reason why any country should be scared or panic in the first place except if they have a hiden agenda.. Hahaha

Some may be worried about Hilary coming to power as she's the perfect match for the Zionist controlled regime in the U.S. Whatever the case Hilary becoming the president will make the zionist controlled regime even worse.. Remember what happpened in Benghazi, the role she played and how the top Anglozionist'Empire's official died there. That shows how sad and a failure that she is.
And the empire will continue to be vulnerable.. Watch..

First of all printing of fake/free money or $$ need to stop and all things being equal. We are at it already and let see what will help the Empire priting of free money to fund useless, endless and senseless wars with less armed nations. Cowardice..

A rogue state even by United Nations standard is any country that exhibits complete disrespect for international laws and norms.States like North Korea lack transparency,countries around the world cannot trust them.

Also rogue states do not have clear defined leadership.Take Iran for example,if Iran became a nuclear state,who do you think wields the power.
*The President who is at the mercy of the Supreme Leader.
*The Supreme Leader.
*The council of Mullahs.

Even proper diplomatic channels cannot be accessed to stop a nuclear war from Iran because no one knows who wields control over the nukes.Currently,the Supreme Leader controls the Iranian army cause his word is final as he is seen as next to god by the Iranian people.Same thing in North Korea,their leader is revered as Infallible and a god sent to the people.This is despite gross infringement and disrespect for the rights of the people.

North Korea as we know is ran by Kim and his Generals.Kim remains the NK leader only cause his military leaders accept him.The world doesn't know if Kim or his Chiefs wield power over the nukes.The totalitarian rule in North Korea makes it virtually impossible for any type of oversight be it civilian or military into the use of NK's nuclear weapons.

I won't entertain long and senseless arguements with you over this.

I ask you this why are China and Russia scared of the deployment of THAAD in the Korean Peninsula.Isn't it purely a defensive weapon.

Iran Shows off Its New Russian S-300 on During Army Parade


Iran has displayed what is believed to be a part of the Russian-made S-300 air defense missile system during a military parade in Tehran, Tasnim Nes Agency reports.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLoBZkJz74Q


The parade, which is held to mark the National Army Day, was attended by foreign military attaches and experts.


Tasnim reports that two S-300 radar systems, its carrier and command vehicles, as well as a crane for lifting the missiles, had been shown during the ceremony.


The launchers and the missiles themselves, however, were not shown. The Russian S-300 long range surface-to-air missile systems recently procured by Iran were displayed in public for the first time alongside 35 other military equipment units belonging to the Iranian army's Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base, the Mehr news agency said.



The first batch of the S-300 surface-to-air missiles capable of downing jets was delivered to Iran on April 11, according to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

In April 2015, Russia resumed talks on S-300 deliveries following a framework agreement on a landmark pact that aimed to ensure the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear program.

THAAD is Junkie, no one is afraid of it. Didn't they do the same thing during Patriot ? Only for the empire to inform its puppets that time to upgrade to another junk.
