President Vladimir Putin signed a decree, which lifts the 5-year ban on the supply of Iran with the S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. This was reported by the Kremlin press service, Joinfo.ua reports.
"The decree lifts the ban on transit transfer of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems through the territory of the Russian Federation (including air transportation), their export from the territory of the Russian Federation to the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as the transfer to the Islamic Republic of Iran outside the Russian Federation with the use of ships and aircraft under the State Flag of the Russian Federation," the document writes.
It should be recalled that Russia refused to supply Iran with the S-300 in 2010 under UN Security Council sanctions.
