Russia selling missiles to Iran

As reported with concern all over the world, Russia has sold anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran. As commented by Russian officials, they are willing to continue sales in future. All of this has been confirmed by Russian officials, including the Foreign Minister Sergei Ivanov. Although the UN has banned selling of nuclear technology to Iran, no mention has been made of conventional weapons.

Although no mention has been made of conventional weapons, what kind of message is being sent to Iran by selling any weapons at all as long as their nuclear intetions are feared? Is this a new Russian way of showing that it is still a world power? May be.

Unfortunately there is another may be. May be the day is not far ahead Russia together with other countries will be threatened by Iran.
