Russia Refuses To Sell S-400 Air Defense Missile System To Iran

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has turned down a request by Iran to purchase the advanced S-400 missile defense system, Bloomberg reported on May 30, quoting two Russian officials who chose to remain unidentified.

Reports from Russia also picked up by media in Iran's neighbour Turkey say Putin has rejected the request over concerns about rising tensions in the Persian Gulf region where several Arab leaders voiced their concern about Iran's military ambitions.

This comes while according to Hurriet daily newspaper, the delivery of S-400 missile defense systems to Turkey is going ahead according to schedule, Hurriet quoted Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying on May 29.

There is still no reaction from Iran or Russia to the news of Iran's request for buying the S-400 systems being rejected.

Zarif visited Moscow in early May but the purchase of S-400 was not on his declared agenda. Russian officials reportedly said they were not authorized to comment on the matter.

Iran currently has the previous model of the air defense system S-300. The sale of that system was delayed several times although Iran claimed it had paid for it beforehand. Russia finally delivered the S-300 to Iran after Iran threatened to take the case to international tribunals.

Regional and world powers are sensitive to issues surrounding the purchase of advanced air defense systems. Currently, Turkey, a NATO member and a U.S. ally, is risking punitive measures by the Trump administration for considering to add the system to its air defense grid.

Iran's case is even more complicated with tensions between Iran and the United States escalating and as regional countries are seriously concerned about Iran's intentions, particularly after recent attacks on shipping in the Sea of Oman and Houthi drone attacks against Saudi targets. U.S., Saudi and other Arab states blame Iran for the attacks, accusing Tehran of attempting to destabilize the regain for political and economic gain. Nevertheless, Iranian officials have denied any involvement in the attacks.

Russia's refusal of Iran's request is in spite of Tehran and Moscow's alliance in the war in Syria. They have been strategic partners in Syria since 2011 in the campaign to save Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from that country's civil war.

Israeli fighter jets having a field day deep inside of Iran.

S300 AD system is nothing to the Isreali 5th gen stealth jets. The question is how many S400 Iran get, even the S400 dey collect wotowoto.

If Isreal dominates Iranian airspace, na beginning of the end be Dat. Supreme leader's hometown was attacked, it's a message IMHO

Iran terrorist regime will soon be overthrown

Lies!

Israeli fighter jets had a field day in the midnight while the enemies slept many,
targets were hit including air defense systems,
many citizens woke up in the night and massive queues were seen in Tehran trying to buy fuel
in preparation for the real showdown

now that their air defense has been disabled, Isreal can now easily attack their nuclear capability.

All the best to Iran

I love Iran.

They are true allies.

Iran may be attacked again if Hezbollah and iJ fires at Israel.
Iran should go and sit down with it's so called outdated Air Defence System.
Israel Operated for Complete 3 hours inside Iranian Airspace.

Lol.. It's going to be an all out war if Iran tries it again and trust me Iran will be humbled.

Biodun556:

But you people claimed nothing was hit in the attack, why preparing for another retaliatory strike if nothing of important was hit in Iran..?

You people would learn the hard way...

Biodun556:

Iran did a lot and achieved next to nothing

Israel did 'less' and achieved more

So how did Israel fail

In support of the Iranian government and people at this critical time.

Israel refused to disclose actual losses but many Israeli fighter jets and mossad headquarter was perfectly targeted by Iran

Keep deceiving yourself...the Islamic regime in Iran is threatening her citizens with imprisonment if they share pictures of the damage inflicted...


Do you even know what it means for an enemy to take control of your sky and operate unhindered for hours and stroll back home with no scratch?


I guess you dumb brain can't even process that. .

Lol. They will be okay in the end. The war they've been fighting by proxy has been brought to their doorstep.

The world has changed since 2019.

Bury your head in shame. Israeli planes operated for 4 hours, firing missiles and your are here beating chest that Iran sef no send you. Are you okay? Do you know what it means to operate in a country's airspace for 4 whole hours? Over 100 planes took part and none, not even one was scratched, let alone shutdown.

Do you really understand the implications of the above? Do you?

Sometimes I wonder how una dey reason.

I don't know what their heads are filled with.

They do not understand what it means for a country's enemy to operate in her airspace freely with over 100 jets for close to 4 hours.

They think say na for Nigeria where they twist everything to make themselves happy.

They are mere sycophants and armchair analysts. Thank GOD that Iran understands the Implications and the message very very clear.

If wishes were horses, beggars will ride

Iran should have shown us their achievements like Israel is currently showing us

Who pass you pass you

Iran is a sovereign nation and can make decisions based on its national interests.

I respect that Iran is not in a hurry to buy weapons from anyone.
