Iran threatens to sue Russia over S-300
Iran is threatening to sue Russia for failing to deliver the S-300 anti-missile system that Iran wants to protect its nuclear facilities. "The Russians, surely under the pressure of the Zionist lobby and America, refuse to fulfill their commitments," the official IRNA news agency quoted Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Mansourian as saying.Good luck with that.
"And because this is an official agreement it can be pursued through international legal bodies," said Mansourian, who is deputy head of Iran's air defenses.
Iranian officials say the country can produce a S-300-style system by itself, if Russia does not deliver it. Iranian media say a new anti-aircraft defense system will be tested during war games this week.As they say in Missouri, show me.
Heh.

They'll have as much chance of succeeding in court as they will in blackmailing the Russians.
And just how effective an S-300 type anti-aircraft missile system will be against a low altitude EMP warhead delivered by a Jericho II missile over Iran remains to be seen.
