I've Been Thinking:

Russia has responded to recent reports that it just sold $1 billion worth of missiles and other defense materials to Iran.
The response was not a denial, it was a rationalization.
Russia said that the weapons were for defensive purposes only.

"All contracts concluded in the military-technical cooperation fully comply with our international commitment, including in the sphere of nonproliferation, and are in full compliance with Russian law."

Why would any country sell weapons to Iran in this day and age?
Why would they sell this particular weapon?
There is only one reason.
Money!!!!

The question is whether the money is worth the potential cost of giving Iran the Tor M1 Missile Systems. The system can fire at two targets at the same time.

The United States and other allies should be in an uproar.
As on now, there is silence.
