No decision has been taken yet on the delivery of S-300 air defense systems to Iran, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said on Friday.
Russia signed a contract on delivering at least five S-300 systems to Iran in December 2005, but the contract's implementation has so far been delayed.
On June 9, the UN Security Council approved a fourth round of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, including tougher financial controls and an expanded arms embargo.
Later, the United States and the EU imposed extra sanctions against the Islamic republic.
The sale of S-300 air defense systems is believed to fall under the sanctions, though Russia said the delivery would not be affected since the weapons are not included in the UN Register of Conventional Arms.
The head of the Russian State Technology Corporation Rostekhnologii, Sergei Chemezov, said in July that the contract had not been cancelled.

being set up. What if Russia has already sent the S-300 missiles to Iran and the Kremlin leadership is just playing chess with the Judeo/Anglo/US axis. What if the Russia/China axis is just waiting for the Judeo/Anglo/US axis to attack. Then all the well laid plans of the Russian/Chinese axis will come to the fore. A quiet stealthy mover is the Russian/Chinese axis. And I am sure that despite all of this hog wash about Putin being helped by Jews when he was a youngster, I am sure he is much the wiser now for the reasons that they did this. What if Putin has his own group of spies in the Russian spy network and he has all the Jewish criminals all mapped out. We shall see.
