The U.S. is strongly opposed to Russia selling S-300 missles to the country of Iran. These missles could risk the security of U.S. troops in the nearby region and the United States has made this clear to high-level Russian officials. What isn’t clear if these S-300 missles are in fact being sold to the Iranian governement. Russia is supplying Iran with weapons and it seems this knowledge is widely known. The U.S. doesn’t want Iraq possesing these long range missles and the threat it could bring to the Middle East region. Russian officials aren’t being clear what exactly is being sold to the Iranian government and this is leaving a conflict between the U.S. and Russia right now.
Russia is already uspet with the actions that America has done in the Georgia Conflict and with the defense system being set up in Poland. The Russians may see this as an opportunity to get back at the U.S. government, by allowing long range missles inside the border of Iran. If any of these S-300 missles are to be found inside of Iraq, the U.S. military could make swift decisions and attack these places that house the long range missles from Russia. This is going to be a very important story over the next few months and it should be interesting to see how much more of a strain the U.S. and Russia can take from each other as things continue to grow intense between the two large nations. Russia might want to think twice, before they make such a bold decision and relize any risk to the troops in the Middle East caused by them, will be a move that forces them to have to watch their own skies and borders for a U.S. attack inside the Russian nation.
