Jualan peluru berpandu S-300 Rusia kepada
Iran mempunyai sejarah yang beralun. Perjanjian itu telah pertama
ditandatangani pada tahun 2007, tetapi telah digantung oleh Rusia di bawah
tekanan dari Amerika Syarikat dan Israel.
Moscow berkata penghantaran itu akan
menjejaskan kestabilan keselamatan serantau ketika Tehran dituduh mempunyai
program senjata nuklear haram.
Kontrak itu dihidupkan semula tahun lalu
selepas 6 kuasa DUNIA utama Iran dan menandatangani perjanjian nuklear, yang
dialamatkan kebimbangan terhadap pelarian nuklear berpotensi dengan Tehran.
Sistem S-300 sekarang yang disampaikan oleh
Rusia adalah hasil daripada perjanjian baru ditandatangani dengan Iran pada
bulan November, dan versi dinaik taraf daripada salah satu yang Tehran pada
mulanya membelinya. Penyampaian itu dijangka siap pada pertengahan 2016.
Russia’s sale of S-300 missiles to Iran has a
bumpy history. The deal was first signed in 2007, but was suspended by Russia
under pressure from the US and Israel. Moscow said the delivery would
destabilize regional security at a time when Tehran was accused of having a
clandestine nuclear weapons program.
The contract was revived last year after Iran
and six leading world powers signed a nuclear deal, which addressed concerns
over a potential nuclear breakout by Tehran.
The S-300 system now being delivered by
Russia is the result of a new deal signed with Iran in November, and is an
upgraded version of the one that Tehran initially purchased. The delivery is
expected to be complete by mid-2016.
