Iran urges Russia to deliver overdue missiles

Russia signed a contract with Iran on the supply of S-300 air defense systems to the Islamic Republic in December 2005. However, there have been no official reports on the start of the contract's implementation since then.
The possible deliveries of S-300 missiles to Iran have aroused serious concern in the West and in Israel.
"Russia has to fulfill the contract and not be influenced by Zionist pressure," Firouzabadi said.
A Russian government official on Thursday said Moscow would not freeze the contract as a concession to the United States.
The official denied media speculations that Russia could freeze the Iranian contract in exchange for Washington's decision not to place interceptor missiles in Poland and a missile tracking radar in the Czech Republic.
