The U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said on Wednesday, Jan. 24, that a recent delivery of Russian Tor-M1 missile system to Iran may cause the United States to impose new sanctions against Russia.

The measures are likely to follow because Bush administration had harshly criticized Russia’s defense contract with Iran and urged the Kremlin to terminate it.

Washington believes that Russia should not have sold up-to-date arms to the country which refuses to meet the UN Security Council’s requirements for development of nuclear industry. The international community should review the selling of Russian systems for anti missile defense of Teheran, McCormack said.

WEll, I am very much against intrnstional weapons trade anyway.

But this is not a clear cut issue, is it. Free trade and all that. I can not remember, there is an UN arms embargo against Iran is there not?

If there is, then yes, they should be punished.

The whole thing about the sanctions against Iran is so clouded with political mumbo-jumbo that it is difficult to say what is or isn't allowed. So it is at best, unclear.
