Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov yesterday announced that preparations to deliver S-300 missile systems to Iran have been successfully completed.
“All problems with documents and other issues associated with this have been resolved, and the preparatory process is completed. So I see no obstacles whatsoever but as for the deadlines, they should be announced by those directly involved in this,” Ryabkov said in a press statement.
He added that negotiations to discuss the construction of a nuclear plant in the Fordo region in Iran will begin after a few months, stressing that the negotiations require a very sensitive preparation stage and that the P5+1 group is aware of them.
Russia seeks to play an active role in Iran’s nuclear programme where Moscow would like to swap Iranian enriched uranium with Russian natural uranium.
