According to the AFP News Agency, Russia will be arming Iran with the sophisticated S-300 anti-aircraft system sometime in September.
The news report has both Israel and the United States worried; realizing that such a reality would indeed complicate any planned aerial strike against Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
Officials point out that even after the system is delivered; it will take 6-12 months until it is rendered operational.
One senior Israeli defense official is quoted as saying, “No doubt the system would complicate matters but there is a solution to every problem.”

Israel solved the S-300 problem when they attacked the Syrian nuclear facility.
there are rumors that Israel plans to give the Russian Compound in Jerusalem back to the Russians… I hope it’s severely being reconsidered in light of this.
